Some details
Autonomous Driving and AI Tower Experience for Intel',s CES 2018 immersive Mega Experience.
Tool of NA Directors Aramique Krauthamer and Jeff Crouse asked VolvoxLabs to provide the technical direction, 360 projection mapping, and fabrication of their Autonomous Driving - AD and Artificial Intelligence -AI Tower Experience at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018.
The AD Experience:
Through
Three Christie projectors were projected onto translucent projection film that was stretched onto a car-inspired frame. We used TouchDesigner for mapping and feeding in haptic elements and the immersive 5.1 soundtrack.
The seats in the car were fabricated with haptic devices using ButtKicker speakers and Subpacs. Inside the car, VolvoxLabs designed, fabricated, and programmed effects to give visitors a multi-sensory ride. As the animation played the seats vibrated, so the audience could feel the car motor and the ground underneath them rumble.
The AI Experience:
We also built an 11ft tall large cylindrical tower structure for Intel',s Smarter Worlds. The tower structure represented the vast data housed and scanned by AI in the cloud. The tower was equipped with several markers. When paired with an AR app-enabled tablet it allowed visitors to immerse themselves in an AI-powered journey. The goal was to take users on a journey that explains how much can be done with AI technology.
