The VR demonstrator: a novel approach to reconstruct Mondrian\u2019s Salon <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\npresented the first reconstruction of Madam B\u2019s Salon in a Virtual Reality\nenvironment and experimentally recorded what regions inside of the Salon preferentially\ncaptured observers\u2019 attention (see figure). This demonstrator was launched at VSS\n2018, the leading international conference on visual science. The VR model allowed\nvisitors to move freely in the room and contemplate their perceptual\nexperience. The most important aspect of this work was the use of a retrofitted\nversion of the HTC Vive headset which incorporates an eye-tracker system (Tobii\nPro VR Integration), allowing the experimenter to interrogate effects of body,\nhead and eye movements during the interaction between the visitor and the Salon.\nFor the VR environment, we also corrected some details from Mondrian\u2019s original\ndesign, in order to account for properties of the physical space of Ida\nBienert\u2019s home in Dresden that had previously been overlooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second, revised version of Mondrian\u2019s Salon in VR was presented during the exhibition \u2018Un Mare di Illusioni\u2019 at the European Conference on Vision Perception (ECVP 2018) to an audience of scientists from about 30 countries. Mondrian\u2019s Salon was visited by approximately 100 visitors \u2013 mostly, but not exclusively, scientists. Many reported that oblique lines and non-orthogonal intersections become immediately (and dynamically) visible when moving in the room and changing point of view. There was also unexpected interplay of Mondrian design with simulated sunlight entering the room through the windows in an orientation that is not parallel to the rectangular colour grids on floor and walls. Some visitors also focused more on the furniture in Mondrian\u2019s Salon that pop out from the background as three-dimensional objects in the VR salon, rather than appearing flat and static as in Mondrian\u2019s drawings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
