LIRIS at YGGDRASIL: the festival of imaginary worlds and the future
Centrale Lyon, INSA Lyon, Mines Saint-Étienne and ENTPE joined forces under the Collège d'Ingénierie banner for a meeting on February 3 and 4 at Eurexpo, in the "Demain, mais en mieux !" space of the YGGDRASIL festival.
The program included a friendly "speed-searching" session with researchers, and a demonstration alveolus to discover projects.
In this space, members of the LIRIS ORIGAMI team invited spectators to embark on a multisensory virtual reality experience focusing on the craftsmen of the medieval building site of the Château de Guédelon. Thanks to a campaign to capture and restore images, sounds, smells, and gestures, the LIRIS team, in collaboration with the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Lyon Saint-Étienne, reconstructed the environment of the time. Virtual reality thus becomes a tool for conserving and promoting intangible heritage.
