Concept of Stairs
Brainstorm for AR project
In Visual Arts
Stairs are classic visual elements in visual artworks. Conceptually, staircases imply social class and power relationships. And spaciously, they unfold spaces with the aid of camera movements. Except for making realistic depictions, stairs are also great for creating surreal scenes. In the game Monument Valley, stairs form a dynamic space through the effect of optical illusions.
What makes stairs?
Stairs are basically constructed by a continuous arrangement of solid objects of varying heights, mostly cubes, but cubes are definitely not the only choice. Stairs naturally connect multiple places, but sometimes, the destination is perceived as the same place as the origin (A. Penrose Steps). In other cases, a 2D staircase has multiple dimensions. For example, in image B, stepping on the black squares or on the white squares indicates stairs on different planes.
