Summary

Força Forte is a creation for a duet created by Gilles Jobin. Inspired by the concept of strong force of particle physics, this piece is the result of a research about the relation between two people with a play on reality and perception. The complexity of the relationship is enhanced by the use of 3D technology.

For this piece, we created the 3D bodies of the dancers using body scanning technology, and we performed the motion capture.

Swiss tour in 2016, preview in Russia in September 2015. More info here.

Summary

Today, the complex sensations of comfort (interaction body – clothing, suitability of fabrics, etc.) are subjectively evaluated on a static body. The goal of this project was to provide new knowledge about garment comfort and fit taking into account the body movement. The comfort sensation was objectively measured with new 3D simulation tools on animated bodies, returning numerical fitting data.

Thus, with this research, new avenues can be opened up for the development of innovative applications of advanced garment design. In particular, new pattern making methods taking into account the body movement can be imagined, an aspect that current processes are not able to consider nor apply in clothing.

A pilot project was carried out within the framework of this research, watch the video here.

Summary

We developed the mobile application of the first volume of the Voyages fantastiques de Téo et Léonie : Le Collier Magique, an audio book telling their adventures and allowing to discover in 3D the different inventions of Leonardo da Vinci throughout the narrative.

This free version of the Teo et Leonie application uses augmented reality technology to discover exclusive content in this first volume read by Benoit Allemane, the famous French voice of Morgan Freeman.

Summary

Experience 49 legendary musical moments like you have never seen or heard them before.

The immersive video jukebox developed in collaboration with EPFL allows users to interact naturally with a broad range of audio and visual content. User gestures are tracked by a motion capture system, sonified in real time, and used as a controller to navigate the best moments of the Montreux Jazz Festival digital concert archive.

The video jukebox was installed next to the entrance of Auditorium Stravinski during the Montreux Jazz Festival 2015.
