Work

By nature, most of my projects are covered by confidentiality clauses — I can name neither the brands nor the exact locations. What I can show is how it works: the problem, the solution, and why it holds up over time.

  • Object recognition

    A detection system able to identify which one, among several fragrance bottles of identical shape, had just been picked up — not just the position, the object itself — automatically triggering dedicated visual content on an LED video wall.

  • Virtual line crossing

    Crossing detection triggering content or an interaction when a line defined in space is crossed.

  • Object-on-surface recognition

    Detection of a visual or an object placed on a surface, triggering the associated content.
