Project case study
Paint a Dymkovo toy
On a touch screen the visitor paints a Dymkovo horse with folk patterns, and the painting immediately appears on a large sculpture of the toy.

The challenge
Let visitors try a folk craft with their own hands, without paint, brushes or queues for a master class.
What Awake! delivered
We wrote the painting engine in Unity from scratch: pattern and colour choice, brush sizes, an eraser and several layers of the toy. Each layer goes to the projection mapping system over Spout, and two projectors paint the sculpture.
Outcome
It has been running in the Travel Gallery of the National Centre “Russia” since its launch in spring 2025.
