Project case study
Smart city
Four visitors put their hands on sensors, and the city comes alive: video runs over a round screen and four glowing towers, LED threads light up and drones on winches move in front of the screen.
- Client
- National Centre “Russia”
- Venue
- Travel Gallery, Moscow
- Completed
The challenge
Upgrade a ready-made zone so that it reacts to people and works as one show instead of separate screens.
What Awake! delivered
We added an active mode to the towers with timed fades, a new 45-second film for the round screen and control of the LED threads over the UDP protocol of a Chinese 3D player. The drones on winches move by presets tied to the timeline of the film, and a rover robot drives out on command over a COM port. A frame for photos and an AR mode complete the zone.
Outcome
The zone works as a single scenario that visitors start themselves, and it is one of the brightest spots of the Travel Gallery.
