Il Cinquecento interattivo

The museum will open on Saturday 28 at 4:30 pm. This time I designed and developed four installations. Find details here.

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.

The exhibit will open on 9.10.2011 and stay there till 7.1.2012. For this exhibit I developed an augmented reality installation – find some details here.

Type: interactive videoinstallation-augmented reality.

Place: Museo Archeologico Regionale (Aosta, Italy 2011).

Technology: Visual C++, Direct3D, DirectShow, OSC.

Description: An old map lies on a big table. A huge trackball allows the visitor to use an augmented reality projection on the map, moving around a viewfinder. Points of interest pop up on the map when the viewfinder gets near and a zoom of what framed by the viewfinder is projected on the wall (a zoom of the map on the left and a zoom of a satellite view on the right). When the viewfinder rests on a point of interest, a video clip on that topic fades in on the wall.
