Interactive art is revolutionising how museums connect with their audiences, transforming them into spaces of engagement, education, and exploration. Our latest project brings this idea to life with an immersive installation that lets visitors step into and explore an alien world.

Drawing inspiration from India’s groundbreaking Mangalyaan Missions, this installation immerses users in a digital environment where they can:

Become Digital Avatars: A depth camera captures real-time body movements, translating them into personalised avatars within a Martian landscape, in carefully designed spacesuits with Optoma’s branding and colours.

Interact in Real-Time: Multi-user interactions encourage dynamic engagement, with glowing light trails amplifying hand movements and creating ethereal visual effects.

Explore an Otherworldly Environment: The terrain mirrors Mars’ rugged beauty, contrasted by surreal skies of nebulas and stars, blending realism with fantasy.

Extensive testing was conducted to fine-tune body tracking, multi-user interaction, and overall interactivity, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for all visitors. This was done on Unreal Engine as its better suited for interactive 3D experiences - offering advanced rendering, body tracking, smoother asset integration, and real-time responsiveness for seamless interactions.

At the heart of this project is our longstanding partnership with Optoma, a leader in large-format display solutions. And so as a part of this collaboration, we also created an AI-powered logo animation for Optoma - demonstrating the limitless potential of art and technology when they converge.
