The
Persistence of Memory is a painting by Salvador Dali where he depicts a
dream. This is one of the most popular paintings of the Surrealism, the
depiction of melted clocks depict are a good representation of the genre
[1]. Using A-Frame, a
javascript-based library for building Virtual Reality experience, we
built a landscape and introduced some assets (clocks, trees)
that are freely available in sites like GrabCAD, TurboSquid, etc. We
introduced animations to represent the passage of time by having a sun
and a moon flying overhead. Some interactive features are also included
in the scene which upon hover will display quotes from Dali. The user
can move around the scene using the keyboard on a computer.
A computer with a strong graphics card is will show the animation much better. Click on the image to dive into the painting.
