Summary
Magic Window is a choreographic piece in augmented reality (AR), created for the renovation of the Aula des Cèdres in Lausanne, Switzerland. Through screens of mobile phones or tablets, users can see the space of the Aula des Cèdres in direct but also virtual dancers embedded in the image and disseminated on the site.
For this piece, we created the 3D bodies of the dancers using body scanning technology, and we performed the motion capture and animation of the virtual dancers.

Summary
Blending art with technology, Gilles Jobin in collaboration with Artanim developed VR_I, a work in which the creator questions our perception of reality and enters new unexplored and unchartered territories for contemporary dance. Thanks to the virtual reality (VR) technology developed by Artanim, VR_I viewers equipped with VR headsets and backpack computers move freely in a total virtual space.
Five viewers at a time may explore this world, moving in turn in an endless desert, an urban landscape or inside a loft at the top of a mountain. Participants each embody an avatar that faithfully replicates their movements, enhancing the feeling of immersion in the virtual world while also enabling them to see their peers. During the experience, participants can thus interact physically and even communicate with the others. Five virtual dancers then come to blur their perception, multiplying, growing to the point of becoming giants or becoming tiny. With these effects of scale, Gilles Jobin addresses the concept of spatiality in a truly original way.
VR_I was selected at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and received, among others, the Grand Prix Innovation and the Audience Award for best performance at the 49th edition of the Festival du nouveau cinéma de Montréal. VR_I was on tour around the globe from 2017-2020.

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.
