The lone star digital memorial: a case study in pervasive displays

The Lone Star digital memorial was an art installation shown as part of HIV/AIDS Awareness Week at the University of Texas at Dallas in November, 2016 (fig. 1). The purpose of The Lone Star digital memorial was to transduce and re-translate the digital form of the AIDS Memorial Quilt into an intense source of color and light in commemoration of those who have died anonymously or alone from HIV/AIDS. The project sought to continue research into publicly situated digital memorials and three dimensional objects as pervasive displays. To accomplish this goal projection mapping techniques were employed where video content was displayed upon a large three dimensional object that functioned as the publicly accessible display.
