An Immersive Room Between Scylla and Charybdis

"Nello Scill’e Cariddi" is an immersive and interactive room, in which the marine environment of the Strait of Messina was employed as first experimental scenarios to develop and test the technology. The scenarios reconstruct different settings relating to this unique ecosystem and represent the outcome of a long process of research and systematization of audio visuals available at the Horcynus Orca Foundation. The room, therefore, transforms collections of films, integrating them with the production of specific images, into virtual environments containing structured catalogues and into interactive installations for educational, playful, scientific, and popular use.
