The Tourist, Water and Nature Home opens its doors in Pont de Vaux, east France. On this occasion, the studio designed and built an interactive floor where visitors can interact with wild fish. The models of common fishes of the river Saône were conceived for the museum. A fun scenario allows children to capture the fishes with their feet in order to hear an audio commentary about each species.

From the 1st to the 4th of July, the national event "Imaginez Maintenant" took place in nine cities in France. It focused on exibiting young artists' creations, selected to showcase their works in historical site, industrial or natural heritages of their city.

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.

We accepted the invitation of Amalgame magazine to create an original interactive installation whose theme was "public expression". It was shown on the Place Fernand Lafargue in Bordeaux, on Friday 28 May 2010.

A private party was organized by Quintess to announce the creation of the agency [kju:].

2Roqs was solicited to create a series of three interactive installations: an interactive floor, a touch screen and wall projected animation involving participative messaging ( with SMS ).

For the annual convention Total CTG ( TOTAL's R&D department), 2Roqs studio created various interactive animations: a giant screen controlled by gesture, and a series of touch screens. This convention announced the latest technological innovations of the company.

The graphic directive was: rainbow!
Our challenge was to propose a number of conventional, austere documents (classic PowerPoint documents with a lot of text) in a more fancy way.

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.

RoqsTree was exhibited at the Gabriela Mistral center for the third exposition Art & Paysage held in Artigues-près-Bordeaux, from the 6th of June to the 13th of September 2009.

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.

De Natura Rerum, whose title is borrowed from Lucretius'poem, is the adaptation of Gravity for the week of the French language @ DRAC Aquitaine (17-20 March 2009).

We were commissioned to develop an interactive application together with Blue Yetifor the Aquarium de La Rochelle. It shows a virtual pool on the surface of which visitors can walk and interact with various families of sharks and exotic fishes.

Two projectors and two infra-red cams were used 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.
