L'Alcazar is a parisian restaurant located in the Saint Germain des Prés area.
We developed several interactive animations running on a sensitive floor which was designed to detect movement. The installation was set at the restaurant entrance, allowing people to walk through and generate responsive graphics such as water ripples above reactive fishes or create some flower path that lead them to the main restaurant room.
Our tool
VisionFactory was used for the development of the installation. It allows to drive a set of two video-projectors whose images can overlap thanks to the soft edge technique. The reactive and realistic rendering were achieved thanks to the use of advanced animation concepts.
Parameters were set through an easy-to-configure interface, powered by our own library RQControls.
The installation named
Virtual Stage was a joint venture between
Blue Yeti and
Mobidium.
