roqsTree
Tree is an interactive installation shaped as a flowering tree. It gathers participants around a reactive and cooperative structure, exploiting both the architectural and social angle of the immediate parallel that exists between reality and virtuality.
Gravity
Words appear, reply to each other, reconstruct, play with the asperities of a façade... Through the vector of phone messages sent lively onto this monumental display, bystanders become actors of a poetic dialog between the public and architecture.
La Rochelle Grand Aquarium
Installed permanently at La Rochelle, the Sharks' corridor is a tactile walk over a virtual aquarium. Visitors wander at the surface of a basin where hammer-sharks and Gnathanodons evolve, creating wavelets and interacting with the fishes.
Nokia Trends Lab
Our Lavalamp application has accompanied the fashionable Trends Lab concerts through their tour in more than 20 cities worldwide. Photographed visitors could see their portrait appear inside the bubbles projected onto three giant screens.
Barbican
We developed this audio visualization application that creates visual representations of musical pieces. This organic tree like structure, flowering in relation to the musical input, was used to generate the imagery for Barbican's Great Performers session.

For the launching of Philips's Senseo limited edition by designer Marcel Wanders, we made a 3D model of the two coffee machines that we animated in real time in a home-made software. During the show, the 3D was controlled by hand gestures by the designer himself.

Gravity was exhibited @ Rocksane in Bergerac for the festival Mai des Arts.
The day before Julian animated the 39th session of les Jeudi du Multimedia organized by Médias-cité. Most of the interactive applications developed @ Studio 2Roqs were shown with a speech on architectural projection applications.
Saturday was dedicated to a workshop on Processing software.

We were commissioned to develop an interactive application together with Blue Yeti and Mobidium for the Aquarium de La Rochelle. It show a virtual pool on the surface of which visitors can walk and interact with various families of sharks and exotic fishes.
Virtual Stage was used for the whole installation, using two projectors and two infra-red cams to detect movement of people walking above the virtual water.
The application was installed in the corridor leading to the giant sharks' tank. It is part of a set of new features unveiled at the aquarium for its re-opening in the end of January 2009. The aquarium welcomes about one million visitors each year.

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.

We were involved in the creation of an interactive application for a Finnish phone manufacturer which is organizing a promotion tour across Europe this spring and summer. Their whole visuals being based on lavalamp-like shaded bubbles, our challenge was to program a real-time animation based on the flowing of the stretched wax being periodically heated and cooled inside its container, in which would appear the images of people photographed during the events and transferred to a computer via bluetooth.
We teamed up with London-based studio Imperial Leisure who handled the artistic direction, as they had been commissioned for several printed or filmed visuals for the events .
We had the chance to fly to Lithuania to install the application at the Nokia Trend's Lab event held in Vilinus on June, 1st.

This project is a joint venture between London-based studios Hudson-Powell / North and us. We developped a tool whose purpose was generating images for Barbican.
Based on Vision Factory, the software draws in real time complex tree structures which are real time audio controlled.

CTIFL, a national organisation that performs advanced research, publication and teaching in fruits and vegetable area, has solicited 2Roqs for the creation of a cross-platform application.
The CD-Rom contains a suite of 17 tools for helping the managing of vegetable stores.
This application was the first to benefits from the RQControls interface technology developped by 2Roqs.
