Team Oceanus 3 is continuing the Entertainment Technology Center’s development of two interactive crowd experiences for the 2012 World Expo in Yeosu Korea. Our team is based at the ETC’s Osaka Japan campus and our advisor is Dr.Salvador Barrera. We will be creating these experiences for our client GL Associates. All guests entering the 2012 expo will pass through the Expo Digital Gallery, walking under a massive LED ceiling display showing our content. Hundreds of guests at a time will be able to interact with the ETC’s Safe Spot and Sumi Twitter experiences. Safe Spot is an augmented reality experience that uses a network camera to virtually transport people onto the melting sea ice of the arctic and Sumi Twitter is an animated visualization of a Twitter feed that breathes life into tweets with the help of colorful ocean life. The theme of the 2012 expo is “The Living Ocean and Coast.” Exhibitions at the expo will focus on ocean ecosystems and the relationship between humanity and the sea. The interactives that we design will express these themes while creating a fun and immersive experience for all who attend the expo. Visit us at the 2012 World Exposition in Yeosu!
