Hello, If you want to see it for your very own eyes please be invited to GDC 2012. We will be showcasing “Datura” at Sony’s booth. Everything is packed and prepared so see you there! More info and a complete webpage for this project will be announced after GDC. Please also check Playstation blog, since there will be official statement of Sony coming real soon.

Project “Solaris”

The small group of polish astronomers are searching for extraterrestrial planets around binary star systems. We were again asked to work closely with Platige Image studio on interactive presenatation. Our task was to implement a presentation system that could be controlled by body gestures. We used Kinect for this task and it ran quite smoothly. We will post a movie from the presentation as soon as we will get it.

Datura first teasers

Heh, we made some little noise with our new baby. We would like to show you first teasers of “Datura”. It’s the new big thing we are making with Sony Santa Monica Studio. It started almost two and a half year ago and silently we were working untill today. As people from various sites have discovered, the project is called “Datura”. We were working hard to bring you a much more immerive experience by using Playstation Move controller as well as 3D stereography. This is as much as we can say for today. We will keep you updated! Meanwhile try to find remaining teasers!

Interactive “Move Your Imagination” Campaign

We took a part in a very complex project “Move Your Imagination” responsible for promoting polish tourism at a Berlin tourism EXPO. Our task was to program an interactive part, where big audience was controlling the motion of a space creature over an imaginary planet. Everyone got a white reflective stone cube, and by waiving left and right they were able to control where the creature goes. The output was a cinematic stereoscopic 2K projector, so it looked quite impressive.

Interactive Coin Portrait

Ok, so here is our latest interactive installation. It’s the realtime coin portrait made exclusively for polish mint. The picture on the left shows bonzaj in Hernán Cortés style portrait. The installment used PS3Eye camera and fast PC to show a massive amount of displacement mapped coins based on very detailed reliefs. The funny part of the installation was the photo quality printer which could print photos directly from our output.
