A live mermaid in the fairy-tale oak

A virtual mermaid who talks to every tour group in real time: an actress drives her face and body from a hidden booth, and a neural network turns the 3D character into a living painting.

An augmented relief map of Primorye

A physical 3D relief map of the region comes alive under a projector, and tablets on rotating mounts around it add augmented reality on top of the model.
