The Patent Machine is a collaborative project made within Triple Innovation. It is an interactive installation that humorously explores the concept of AI-generated intellectual property.
With just three words entered on a phone, the Patent Machine generates technical drawings, 3D models, and even AR/VR experiences of the inventions it imagines. Users can take home physical printouts of their AI-generated patents or view them in immersive mixed or augmented reality.
The Patent Machine Skit
An overview of the Patent Machine’s process:
Users scan a QR code, input three words, and receive a technical drawing, a 3D model, and a printed patent to take home.
Mixed Reality Exploration
Using Unity and MetaQuest 3, this video demonstrates how users can interact with 3D models of AI-generated patents in a mixed reality environment.
Augmented Reality Patent Viewing
Users can view AI-generated patents in augmented reality directly on their phones, using image tracking or placing them in their physical environment.
