We designed a speech recognition system to allow the guide interact with digital characters, representing 5 renewable energies: Idro, Mariasole, Gaia, Marina and Levante.
‍The Visitor Journey is characterised by the gamification and the digital experience can be customized based on a different audiences, so the narration unfold on several levels. Visitors are welcomed by a guide that wears a construction helmet, the tool that activate the voice recognition system. Thanks to keywords, the soul guide Idro, the character of water energy, provides content and explanations. Visitors are asked to interact with the stories: the system calculates the energy produced by their movements and, thanks to a Kinect and Computer Vision, generates customized shapes in color and graphics quantifing the energy spent for specific tasks, such as turning a light bulb on.Than a 360° immersive environment tells the story of the 5 avatars in their own animated environments: characters and contents are activated by the voice recognition system, while a generative Sound Design changes in real-time according to visitors’ presence. A last game asks visitors to construct digital storyworlds for the renewable energies, so to apply the principles received during the visit. There is an immediate familiarity created with the characters, that makes the engagement and the immersive journey significantly more realistic.
