Augmented reality app and immersive experiences for EUROFusion Fusion Expo
Client: EUROfusion / Finetuned
Skill set: App Development / Augmented Reality / Hand Tracking Experience
Finetuned came to RamJam to help create a range of immersive digital experiences for EUROFusion Fusion Expo: a pan-European exhibition on the state of the art in Fusion Energy
Users are enlisted into an adventure to recover knowledge artefacts via clues and challenges spread throughout the exhibition space.
The story unfolds into three parts through which visitors discover the scientific principles behind fusion, experience fusion research for themselves, and explore different possible futures.
Via a cast of characters, users are introduced to a story of science and suspense, navigating a variety of augmented reality portals to unlock crucial information through video, images and messages, all while helped by an 'AI' guide.
During periods of shut-down when experiments aren't being run, a remote-handling robotic system called 'MASCOT' is used to repair, maintain, and install new pieces of equipment.
Along with our augmented reality app, we created a simulation of this machine, incorporating hand-tracking, allowing users to simulate gestures to the robot arms and recreate a simplified version of performing a tile replacement.
