Viewing Venice from its main thoroughfare – the Grand Canal. Toing and froing along, as with any other street, observing its palaces at 360°. Reappropriating the vision of Venice from the water.

A new way of perceiving the city, through an interactive representation of the urban space and architecture.

This suggestive idea is the basis of the experimental enhanced reality and gesture recognition project, the result of a research project in the fields of photography, interaction design and software creation, conducted by NuovostudioFactory, Officine Panottiche and Wetoo, the fields.

An experimentation which materialized in an interactive event, that will be held at the Telecom Italia Future Centre from September 6 – 11, 2009.

A panoramic interactive video of images of the Grand Canal will be projected onto the walls of the beautiful cloister, while an outline of the canal’s reversed “S” was projected onto the pavement. Visitors that enter the beam of light and control their viewing of the shots, looking about and interacting with the images of the canal, just as if they were in its midst – resulting in a unique sensorial experience and a brand new event for the city.
