EPFL+ECAL Lab

The EPFL+ECAL Lab is a unit of the EPFL (Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) in cooperation with ECAL (University of art and design Lausanne). Its mission is to foster innovation at the crossroads between technology, design and architecture. The Lab bases its activities along three axes: giving new meaning to technologies developed in the labs, fuelling innovation by widening the scope of designers’ work and forming new links between research and applications for society. On its premises across two floors in the new ECAL building in Renens, the EPFL+ECAL Lab offers training as well as innovation projects and partnerships with industry. http://www.epfl-ecal-lab.ch/...

Paintscaping

We create live events that will have your audience cheering for more. We design indescribably beautiful landscape lighting. We transform ordinary architecture into extraordinary, and ever-changing, environments. In short, we make you look great by making your world look amazing. We specialize in large-scale projects, like the huge 8-wall-in-sync 3D mapping, in Las Vegas or our tallest yet: an 11-stories-high mapping at the beautiful Westin Kierland in Scottsdale. We also represented the USA at the first 3D projection mapping festival in North America, held in Quebec City, in February 2013. PaintScaping is also one of a select few companies to be an official VSP partner of Christie Digital, the world’s largest projector company. Because our typical client is discerning, demanding and internationally respected, we expect the best from ourselves. Our team of animators and technologists is the best in the world. They include many transplants from Hollywood, where founder Philippe Bergeron is a pioneer in the field of computer animation. Time Magazine called his work a breakthrough. paintscaping.com...

LusoVu

LusoVU is a Spin-off of LusoSpace (www.lusospace.com) which inherits from its mother company a deep knowledge in state of the art technology and a DNA of quality solutions. LusoVU designs, develops, prototypes, integrates and produces Augmented Reality hardware and software solutions based on its acquired disruptive concepts that will enable it to reach beyond current paradigms of communication. Our Mission, Vision and Values will demonstrate our drive and our goals: Mission: To increase life by connecting people beyond the human senses. Vision: To be the catalyzer of the new human interaction paradigm. Values: PII, the AUGMENTED magic PI number Passion to do great things for great people Imagination to do special things for special people Integrity to do the right things for the right people LusoSpace’s work in Augmented Reality started in 2005 with a study to identify new means of communication for astronauts. By 2007 LusoSpace created its first Head Mounted Display prototype for Augmented Reality applications. Since then LusoSpace has continued its investment having achieved a totally disruptive optical solution named Lisplay™ (patent pending). While there is still development work to be done (full color, higher resolution, even wider field of view), the first Lisplay™ proof of concept is now available and will be on show at AWE2014. Participants will be able to witness the wide field of view, lightness, low power consumption amongst other groundbreaking possibilities. The Lisplay aims at being the augmented Reality HMD holy grail; the solution puts the lens and the display in front of the user’s eye, being transparent, as thin and light allowing for the next gen HMDs to be quite similar to normal glasses. In fact the whole concept is even capable of being placed ON prescription glasses! Visit us at booth 96 on the digital eyewear pavilion and take a peek at what the future will bring! www.lusovu.com...
