Smoke-free World

2021/2022

Czech Republic, Slovak Republic


Creation of an original virtual character - prof. Dohořel, who guides visitors through his lab. The installation uses a series of videos, where the professor's figure is driven by motion capture technology. Within selected events live motion capture is used, thus the professor is able to communicate with the audience directly.

We also designed the inner environment of the laboratory. It is equipped with LCD screens with videos, holo boxes using interactive videos and transparent screens, and digital X-rays that allow visitors to scan through particular objects. Eventually a smaller “pocket-size” version for one-day indoor events was produced.
