Enjoy the Audi Immersive Experience, a cutting-edge interactive installation developed by Glassworks for Audi.
Audi asked us to create a stimulating technological innovation on par with their electric sports car, the RS e-tron GT. The team at Xavi’s Lab, our Special Projects division, set out to develop a unique real-time event, where the user could easily interact with the brand and enjoy an emotional experience.
Two gigantic LED screens, of 12 by 4 metres, present naked-eye visual effects, allowing the passers-by to experience an illusion of depth and three-dimensional images, while varying lights and shadows respond to the time of day. The spectators can participate in three minigames involving the showcased car by simply moving their upper bodies, in what’s a highly technological, yet nonintrusive interaction.
The body movement is captured by a small camera and processed by an AI module that converts it into a virtual skeleton and into numbers. These are used as input to create a real-time interaction between user and content. Xavi Tribó, director of the Lab, firmly believes that “Artificial Intelligence can, and should, help us become more human in terms of relationships and connectivity.”
From the creative development to the programming and VFX, working on this project was truly a pleasure for our team. For those of you currently in San Sebastian, you can check out the Audi Immersive Experience at the Plaza Santa Catalina, where it will be showing during the Film Festival.
