We already presented the HoloCubtile (read the note about Laval Virtual 2010 or the R&D article in the newsletter from March), an augmented reality device which associates a tactile cube whose 5 faces are multitouch with a mirror in which visitors can see themselves manipulating objects, blending thus visualization and interaction spaces.
Futuroscope, the French second theme park, has just acquired the first
copy of the HoloCubtile, few months after it had been introduced to the general public; it will be presented at the “Jardin des Arts” exhibition that started at the beginning of July. Carried out in partnership with Maïf Fund for Education, this permanent exhibition will last at least 3 years: all visitors – the young and old – will discover in a fun and innovative way 4 work of arts that leaved their marks on art history, among which Tutankhamun's mask and the Venus de Milo.
In the Digital City, Futuroscope space dedicated to relax or make new experiences between two attractions, the HoloCubtile aims at surprising visitors, bringing art within reach of everyone. This tactile experience in Augmented Reality permits in particular a more intuitive approach of sculptures, revolutionizing thus the relationship between art and visitors.
