Summary

We were contacted by the Natural History Museum of Geneva to create a serious game as part of the exhibition Faites comme chez nous: Les géants de Kem Kem.

This exhibition brings adolescents of 12-15 years in Morocco to look for unique dinosaur species. Through an interactive digital scenario, they share the daily life of a paleontologist, from digging the ground to the study of fossils.

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.

Summary

3D In Motion (3DIM) was installed during the Caprices Festival 2015 in Crans-Montana. The setup combines motion capture and 3D visualizations. During the concerts, an interaction zone allows people to dance and their movements to be captured and converted into 3D graphics in real time. The generated visuals are then projected on a huge screen in the concert room.

The people could choose among six different 3D scenarios. Their individual performances were recorded and could be downloaded after the event.

Summary

Contracted by Kenzan SA, we created an innovative system for presenting objects or products. The Light Tracking system allows to illuminate a moving object and to display graphical content related to the presented object.

Here, the goal was to illuminate a watch. A video tracking system was developed in order to follow the movements of the watch. The tracked position was used to generate the projection of the lighting and graphics around the watch.

This system was used for Omega’s press conferences at Baselworld 2013.

Summary

3D In Motion (3DIM) is a system of capture, visualization and sonification of movements in real time. This experimental setup allows to create and control 3D graphics in real time with the entire body, as well as to generate sounds from the body motion. The user’s movements are tracked by a motion capture system (Vicon, Xsens or Kinect) and instantaneously converted into sound events and graphic content, which allows you for instance to sculpt in 3D with your body. Your movements are thus transformed into an interactive instrument while immersed in a surround sound environment.

This framework is dedicated to the scene and to real time performances. It can be used for DJ nights, dance performances or other artistic projects. The interaction can be done alone or with others.
