The Nilouphar residence was to be built by spring 2017. It would have been one of the first constructions to benefit from new construction rules aimed at densifying a neighbourhood of the villa area of the Collonge-Bellerive district in Geneva. Neighbours concerned about the impact of the size that this large house could have had a recourse that suspended work and induced a blockage that can last up to a year and a half. To convince the neighbourhood, the architects presented cardboard models at different scales with 3D images. These visualization tools specific to the profession, often poorly adapted to the general public, make it difficult to project in space. The immersive VR is currently the only way that a philistine can sneak into the head of an architect or urban planner. The understanding and vision of future spatial materiality is immediate when looking through a virtual reality helmet. We are convinced that it will henceforth be essential for public administrations concerned with regional planning as well as for real estate development companies and finally for the neighbours with any new construction. We look forward to seeing you there.

Lost Memories aims to produce a poetic and emotional immersive experience focusing the lost of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea while they attempt to reach the European shores. The lost objects loaded of memories are a metaphor of the lost lives. At the beginning the viewer is experiencing a diving journey starting with an idyllic marine scene surrounded by small silver fishes swimming around. Suddenly a strange noise comes from above, a sort of engine is getting close trudging through the waves. Is getting dark, looking above we see a keel’s shape. The engine stops, human voices now are screaming.

“My Brother’s Keeper” is a cinematic virtual reality narrative that immerses the viewer in the story of two estranged brothers who, fighting in the Civil War on opposing sides, unknowingly reunite one last time on the battlefield at Antietam. “My Brother’s Keeper” was inspired by the PBS primetime drama series “Mercy Street” and is anchored in historical fact; its launch during the Sundance Film Festival coincided with the premier of the series’ second season, which ends with the same historic battle.
