One of our latest projects: gamified virtual walkthrough around a property for sale. We worked with http://www.gruntspilotbots.com/ who did a 3D capture of the house and property and created an accurate CAD model of the exterior.

Our artists elevated the CAD into a nicely rendered 3D model and optimized the geometry both for a PC and Oculus Quest experience. The software developers worked in Unreal Engine to developed the gamified walkthrough.

We are in the process of adding video and narrative to some of the rooms! Very excited about how it is coming along.

At Sensing Places, we started collaborations with selected thinkers, artists and storytellers to help them launch groundbreaking exhibits in museums, unconventional venues and online. Together, we are testing new formats of engagement with the public and transformational experiences, supported by innovative technologies.

We are glad to announce that the first outcome of these collaborations will be on display starting tomorrow in New York at the Department of Photography & Imaging Galleries in the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. The exhibit: cit.i.zen.ship: reflections on rights, features photographs, works on paper, writings, and video that reflect on human rights and notions of citizenship.
