MIMAKI UJV100-160 Plus makes AR (augmented reality) shine

Amalgamating immersive (AR) augmented reality environments with exquisite digitally printed imagery, UK-based experiential artist Doddz showed printed canvases, floor graphics and 3D artwork in a private viewing held in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. The ‘A Different Perspective’ exhibition was the artist’s biggest solo show to date, and delivered a captivating evening enjoyed by over 200 guests. Doddz used a range of floor graphics, wallpaper and canvas from Soyang Europe’s catalogue of digitally printable substrates, printed with MIMAKI’s newly launched UJV100-160Plus LED UV printer. These created a series of scenes that when viewed through a mobile phone, came to life as AR experiences, as well as an animated film and video game.
