The Sea

Located in the leafy courtyard of the Sydney Knowledge Hub—home to our Sydney office—stands The Sea, a striking cast bronze sculpture by artist Stephen Walker. Having direct access to this sculpture has provided us with the opportunity for internal testing and refining our spatial mapping and tracking techniques. In the process, we've developed interpretive content that captures the essence of Walker's original work and enriches it with contextual storytelling and dynamic animations.

The Sea is part of the Chau Chak Wing Museum’s Public Art on Campus collection. By utilizing the museum’s online collection search, we gathered detailed information about the artwork, supplementing it with our own research into the artist and the sculpture’s history. We prioritized this information at the forefront of the immersive experience, ensuring that the public has easy access to its significance. To further enhance engagement, we incorporated animated content and sound design, bringing elements of the sculpture to life—sea birds in motion and a flowing virtual water stream—beautifully crafted by digital artist Pandakero to seamlessly blend with Walker’s original aesthetic.

Using an iPhone with LiDAR, we captured and generated a precise spatial map of the sculpture. To ensure accuracy, we rigorously tested the tracking against ground-truth data, measuring any deviations. In the video, the point cloud is overlaid onto the original sculpture, with jittering highlighting minor errors from different angles. To visualize localization success, we colorized the screen—green indicating a successful lock-on, and red signalling tracking loss. Overall, the video demonstrates that our spatial map is performing well.
