WIP: Extended Reality (XR) Projects Using Mixed, Virtual, Augmented Reality with animation of hand drawn and painted murals and chalk art.
Extended Reality (XR) Mixed, Virtual, and Augmented with Hand Painted Murals and Chalk Art for Projects and Events by Anthony Cappetto
Using Extended Reality (XR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) with our 3D murals in paint, chalk, or digital art files:
Art for After Hours XR blends traditional hand drawn or painted art with extended reality (XR), Virtual Reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) and augmented Reality in concert, creating a completely immersive art experience that is one complete effect for corporate events, launches, campaigns, and projects.
Digital Art Files in place of chalk or paint:
Consider digital art files drawn and designed by Art for After Hours in 3D illusion that may be used in place of the live event use of chalk or paint when turnover time is tight or sites do not allow application of media. Contact us for details for your specific project and sites.
Below are immersive installation projects by Art for After Hours using augmented and/or virtual reality live onsite with 3D artwork in either dry chalk or painted mural settings. Please click on images for full pictures. Art for After Hours installations are designed by Anthony Cappetto creating the technologies alone or working with professional vendors depending on size and scope of project. In any case, please have your approved budget, schedule, and event date for contracting ready prior to contacting us. Serious Inquiries Only. Contact Art for After Hours at 4dstreetart@artforafterhours.com or arstreetart@artforafterhours.com for booking.

Animated augmented reality with chalk art in Lewiston, NY August 2022, ‘Rising Sphere’. Art and AR animated and digital art designed and drawn by Anthony Cappetto.
‘innovativemetaverse’ - The virtual metaverse world for street painting/chalk art festivals and physical traditional/digital drawing with emerging technologies such as 4D augmented reality, animation, and rigged modeling.
Our virtual metaverse space in Second Life, the first of its kind to present, create, develop, and host virtual street painting, chalk festivals worldwide, regardless of weather, or time.
Imagine a physical world (real life) event with our 4D animated augmented reality components together with hand drawn chalk art, or mural painting, or digital art printed and/or brought in as part of the animated augmented reality experience.
And even more so running a concurrent virtual metaverse component with the above. Physical, live, virtual, hybrid … Art for After Hours with innovative metaverse can bring, design, and realize the blending of traditional hand drawn/painted art with emerging technologies.
Talk to us at either acappetto@artforafterhours.com or anthony@ispg-inc.com to discuss your possibilities in our new art/technology of the past, present, and future now. Look forward to speaking with you.

4D Animated Augmented Reality with Chalk Art in Lewiston, NY August 2022
‘Rising Sphere’
Art for After Hours had a great time at the Lewiston Art Festival bringing the work of Anthony Cappetto’s chalk art and 4D augmented reality to the public.
The chalk art depicts the Niagra River and local scenery while the animated augmented reality shows a rising sphere, a digitally drawn backdrop featuring ‘The Spirit of Victory’ local statue, moving clouds, floating spheres (from the statue base), corporate sponsor logos all seen only through our animated and still augmented reality - completed with the ambient sound of rushing water for a blended, immersive experience for the attendees.
The floating spheres in the AR backdrop and the animation in the water at forefront came from the sphere present in the statue and the spheres floating was inspired by Surrealist Rene Magritte’s ‘The Voice of Space’ (1932).
Chalk artwork 10’ x 16’, two days to complete. Animation and other augmented reality aspects longer based on design, complexity, interaction, and effects.

Poolside AR, Water Mill, NY
Client: SERHANT Real Estate
Anthony Cappetto, Founder and Artist of Art for After Hours created an augmented reality demonstration in Washington Square Park (as part of a larger segment on street art) on a freezing morning in mid December 2021. Many people came by to say hello and see our augmented reality with hand drawn chalk in New York City.
The 4D illusion was seen through our setup turned out great and the finished segment was broadcast in Germany and throughout Europe.
We had to wait until now (late April 2022) to share publicly between segment production and the onset of the war in Ukraine but it was worth the wait. Special thanks to Igor Rosenfeld, Chefreporter and everyone at JanusTV for inviting me to be in their program!
Watch for the AR steaming coffee pour at the end of the segment for a ‘New York’ feel!
4D Animated Augmented Reality Chalk Art Installation:
‘Sunflowers and Bees - For Our Artist Friends’ at 2022 Chalk Festival in Venice, Florida
‘Sunflowers and Bees - For our Artist Friends’ An augmented reality 4D chalk art installation realized live at the 2022 Chalk Festival in Venice, Florida April 1-3.
Thinking of not only the war that has brought near unspeakable horror known only until recently in the minds and experiences of the oldest members of our world society, but for artist friends the street painting community (that we belong to) share and we have worked alongside in the USA and Europe over the years. The Festival Theme was ‘Resilience’, sunflowers are resilient, bloom, and grow large annually. They are fitting as the National Flower of the Ukrainian People. This project was created concurrently with traditional dry chalk on pavement, augmented reality in the form of a prepainted canvas (the standing sunflowers in the blue box beyond the chalk art), rigged and animated buzzing bees moving between the drawn pavement chalk and the AR illusion beyond.
This art is dedicated to the People of Ukraine. May this war end.
