January 24th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink

Client: N!03 s.r.l.

Type: interactive multimedia museum.

Place: Museo Storico di Bergamo (Bergamo, Italy 2012).

Technology: Piccolo Popolo, Visual C++, Direct3D, DirectShow, OSC, RS232, DMX.

Description:  multimedia museum dedicated to the town of Bergamo and the age of the venetian domination. I developed four interactive videoinstallations.

  • La Fiera (The Fair): an augmented reality interactive diorama of the town of Bergamo as it was in the XVI century. By touching a label on a legend, a path unrolls and highlights the corresponding area on the diorama. A short video clip tells the story of that area of the town.
  • La Bottega dello Speziale (The Apothecary): nine interactive drawers, three projectors above them. When a visitor opens a drawer, a video clip appears inside it and moves in synch. The clips are about old and bizarre – and sometimes disgusting – recipes and remedies of the XVI century.
  • Mura e società (Walls and Society): three synchronized FullHD 3D mapping projections tell the story of the most notable families and happenings of XVI century. The multivision is projected on big wooden blocks, some of them – equipped with motors and lighs – opens at given time and video contents seem to flow out of them.
  • Rotte Commerciali (Trade Routes): a video clip about overseas trades starts when a visitor enters the room.
