Project case study
A life-size holographic guide
A 180 cm virtual guide in a painted costume stands in a bamboo frame and tells visitors in Russian and Chinese what is in the pavilion.
- Client
- Amur Region pavilion
- Venue
- Eastern Economic Forum 2026, Vladivostok
- Completed
The challenge
Greet a bilingual audience at the pavilion entrance and give it a reason to stop.
What Awake! delivered
The image is rear-projected by an ultra-short-throw laser projector onto a transparent film on glass, so the guide seems to stand in the air. The character was created with neural networks — image, animation and voice — in two outfits, Russian painted blue and Chinese. A wave of the hand starts the story.
Outcome
The guide worked in the Amur Region pavilion at the 2026 forum, greeting Russian and Chinese guests.
