〈南懷仁的坤輿世界〉新媒體裝置，是依據國立故宮博物院的院藏清南懷仁〈坤輿全圖〉及〈坤輿圖說〉構思製作。裝置採用特殊地圖投影法，將〈坤輿全圖〉製成直徑1.5米之實體坤輿地球，再用三維擴增實境技術辨識空間中之球體，以行動裝置，將球體和虛擬的坤輿世界連結。約四百年前，南懷仁以手繪地圖助康熙遙想世界結構；今日，我們則以擴增實境技術，重現這令人眼界大開的體驗。
The Universal World of Ferdinand Verbiest is a novel media installation that was inspired by the Universal Map of the World (Kunyu Quantu) and the Illustrated Explanation of the World, both by Ferdinand Verbiest, in the National Palace Museum collections. The installation has adopted a special map projection method that transforms the Universal Map of the World into an actual globe, which is then combined with three-dimensional augmented reality technology to link the real sphere and virtual map world via mobile devices. Approximately four hundred years ago, Ferdinand Verbiest made use of hand-drawn maps to assist the Emperor Kangxi in understanding the structure of the world. Now, making use of augmented reality, we seek to reproduce the same enlightening experience.
