Heritage are not just facades

Heritage are not just facades

The inside of the buildings are being destroyed because its cheaper and easier to build new!

We need to upgrade, not destroy

We need to upgrade, not destroy

For cultural value, energy conservation and social cohesion

Let's use public pressure

go online and find the building you wish to open

We can now show the soul of the city

Just open the facade by clicking on it

And add more memories to it

We are developing the technology that will take the facades out of the buildings and show what is inside. Then you can simply add more info to the space. 

 

This will allow citizens to understand better its hidden value, enhancing tourism, communal life and adding public pressure to avoid the destruction of our heritage but to preserve it with creativity!

 

What if citizens could have a shop window regardless if they live on the ground floor or on the 10th floor?

Mother leaves the paper on his desk while he is talking to the children about the paper. Finally catches up with Mother in art room. She says she knows nothing about it. Officer goes away. Man goes back to desk to find the paper and calls officer back scene starts again.

If you are at the street level, the x-ray vision of the upper floors will only show the ceiling. To allow interaction the room needs to adapt to your view point, so you can see and edit its objects

Interaction Setup

Interaction Setup

Users point to a part of the façade. The projection shows 3D rooms in the perspective according to the current location. The user will hear the corresponding sound to the shown narrative on his phone. A colored halo will correspond the colour of the phone screen so when two or more people point to the same room they know who is who. The different users perspective are overlayed. The actor silhouettes will be the same for different point of views.
