UI - Command panel placement

The main command panels were placed on the border of the UI so the teacher could stay on the side of the whiteboard without blocking the view to the students

UI - Special button interaction

The interactions to change a variable value was designed to simplify and make more intuitive the use of the software on an Interactive whiteboard

Home made Interactive Whiteboard

The Nintendo Wiimote allows you to be creative. For the in-house software testing, we built a homemade Interactive Whiteboard by using the Wiimote controller, a projector and a self-assembled infrared pen

DAMALAB was an exciting project we developed together with the Italian Space Agency. They needed to find the way to talk to primary school students about space and about what’s their job and their relationship with NASA. We proposed to use a videogame for the purpose.

3 Installations

Statue speech bubble

With Interactive Architecture we made the stunning statue of “Il cavatore” deliver messages from the people through a speech balloon. People could text the statue and it would deliver their thoughts to the rest of the city.

Speaking statues

Facial Mapping experiment was made on the statue of Francesco Stocco, an Italian general. We projected a speaking face on the statue’s face to make it look like he was telling his own story to the people passing by.

Wall games

A Wall game was created to bring attention to a precious ancient building of the city, Palazzo Doria. We created a 3D version of the facade of the building on which we developed a videogame based on the geometry of the facade.

my contribution

After some research on the Projection Mapping technique, I found a way to make projections Interactive with the Nintendo Wiimote controller.
I designed the Muraviglia product and we started to make the experiments you see here​

Calvin Klein Swimwear asked us to decorate the huge Tevere river bank under which they were about to present their new swimsuit collection in Rome. We created few organic animations with the Calvin Klein logo and a small game projected on the wall to entertain their guests before and after the show.

Technology used in Muraviglia

Giant sensor bar

Two big lamps emitting in the infrared spectrum, became a huge sensor bar that Wiimote controllers were able to see at a significant distance

Self built infrared lamps

Wiimote Controller

We wrote a small API to map the controller coordinates system on the PC screen. Then we used them in  Unity3D

Christie Projectors

Christie 25k projectors have been used to light the huge walls of the buildings
