Imaginez Maintenant - UrbanXGame
In Bordeaux, the abandoned barrack Niel was chosen to host the whole event. Within this context, students of the school of architecture and landscape (ensapBx) under the direction of Claire Petetin proposed the muti-users game "UrbanXGame" to which we contributed.
Concept
The game, based on piloting aerial vehicles, allowed visitors to access areas normally out of reach by feet. These drones were able to record their flight position and communicate them in real time to a projection screen.
Collected data were then transformed into a visual mapping of places. At the end, each player contributed to the building of the representation thus creating another perception of the place.
Software
We created the data visualization applications and tools running in real time. A specific embedded iPhone application was developped for the occasion allowing us to retrieve and store drones' geo data for the data visualization application running on a big screen.
