In the original concept art the statue was 3D printed, clearly showing the signs of a filament printer. Our own version was materialized with a resin printer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"805\" src=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC01364.ARW_-1024x805.jpeg\" alt=\"Rodin's The Thinker, in a low poly renditions, printed in black resin and displayed over a light wooden table\" class=\"wp-image-230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC01364.ARW_-1024x805.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC01364.ARW_-300x236.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC01364.ARW_-768x604.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC01364.ARW_-1536x1207.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC01364.ARW_.jpeg 1892w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This model became a sort of leitmotif of the whole immersive experience. We changed the texture to a brushed metal in the corporate green, and we provided the client with renders for web and print channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then proceeded to make this model <a href=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/bcciff\/webar\/\">available in webAR<\/a>, using the <a href=\"https:\/\/modelviewer.dev\/\">model-viewer library<\/a>. This will be used in an upcoming promotional campaign, asking the public to share pictures of the statue in their environment, a bit like we did with the whale for the <a href=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/leverans\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/leverans\">Leverans comic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then created the scrollable section of the festival homepage, using <a href=\"https:\/\/threejs.org\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/threejs.org\">a threejs scene<\/a> embedded in an iframe. All semantically meaningful elements were implemented as standard DOM elements, the 3D is purely decorative, but it does not detract from the accessibility of the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check it out on the <a href=\"https:\/\/festival.bccinnovation.it\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/festival.bccinnovation.it\">Festival home page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Innovation World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also built a virtual world on framevr. The design goal was to let users interact in a shared explorable space. We&#8217;re pretty proud of the work our architect did, and there is some technically clever work on object instancing, but we&#8217;ll have here write a whole post on the matter. Keeping to the high level concept, we have a pretty linear progression from the starting point to the exhibition area, gradually disclosing information to the visitor no matter what path they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/if24-mappa-square-verde.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/if24-mappa-square-verde.png 1024w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/if24-mappa-square-verde-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/if24-mappa-square-verde-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/if24-mappa-square-verde-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We worked pretty hard to balance visual quality with performance, and we can now confidently state that it <strong>will <\/strong>work on whatever device you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geodesic rocks in the same material as the Pensatore were inserted throughout, and to tie the concept together we made this short video (pretty early in the process, a lot of the environment is missing):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/e-muse.it\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/0001-0300.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please do check out <a href=\"https:\/\/framevr.io\/bcc-innovation-world\">BCC Innovation World<\/a>, we&#8217;ll be expanding it a lot in the next few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We started this company by winning the Bain award at the original BCC Innovation Festival, back in 2022.
