“This project is very important for megacities like Shanghai, cities losing their connection with nature. When we buy fruits or vegetables in a supermarket, we perceive them as just a product.
us there is no difference between a tooth brush or fresh mint leaves. However there is an amazing story behind those fruits and vegetables, they are not just a product, they are the magic of life. This exhibition is about this unseen Love story of Nature, pollination, which we take for granted. I trust will reconnect people of the city with their roots, the nature. Visitors will not only be watching a story but they will be part of the story.” says Baris Gencel, Executive Creative Director of Gwantsi New Media Lab & Creator of the installation.
This interactive digital installation will be enhanced through ambient sounds of nature. The best part is people can clearly see a direct relationship between their actions and the evolution of the spectacle.
“ Instead of crafting a scene to be watched, we're creating an environment to be explored. Visitors will want to have control, choose where they look and how they interact with the environment. They can interact with the story and unlock “hidden” content, allowing them to explore. Interactivity with participation is all about people coming together and collaborating to create a multimedia experience. And if that experience is a big spectacle – it’s just all the more fun.The best is when people can clearly see a direct relationship between their actions and the evolution of the spectacle.What do we love about interactive technologies ? It draws people back into public spaces for the kind of emotional engagement you just can’t get at home.”

Technology:
Amoris Lumina has various elements with which visitors can actively participate such as custom made breath sensing panels and depth sensor cameras that allow visitors to interact directly with digital content. All new interactive technologies and software allowed the Gwantsi Interactive team to create pieces that are living, transforming works of art. Amoris Lumina uses a combination of 3D rendered video and real time rendered interaction on Unity3D software. Depth sensor cameras allow users to interact with digital content by capturing their body motion. Pollen and butterflies swirl with users’ movements. Custom made breath sensing panels allow users to interact with digital content by blowing on pollens and flowers.
Gwantsi Interactive’s Media Lab developed its own toolsets to create the Amoris Lumina interactive experience. One of the most innovative and challenging of these tools are the breath sensors, which were custom-made especially for this project. Hidden in the panels, breath sensors interact with projected flowers and pollens by “blowing them away”, this emphasizes how Wind is so important for this sensory journey; without wind and insects pollination may not be possible.

Interaction Details:
Depth Sensor Cameras
Interact with flowers, show them love by getting closer to them and they will show their love to you by opening and releasing their pollens. Watch how they form your body shape and interact with your movements and create a beautiful performance.
Dance in the rainforest with the magic pollen,
Some flowers will grow and get taller when you stay next to them, this is how love works, it is a care relation, when you leave the flower, they will go back to small size and close
Breath Sensors
Breath sensor table is interactive projection with customer made 450 sensors allow you to blow flowers and pollens and they float on projected interactive water.For
