What we are · What we build · How to work with us

We build what
visitors play with.

A team behind the screens, sensors, projections and games across the centre. We build our own and bring new tech from the lab into live galleries, keep it running, and make it sharper with what visitors do.

What we build

Kinds of experience

If an exhibit has a screen, sensor, projection or virtual game, it usually runs through us.

01

Touchscreen

The visitor taps to explore info or a game.

02

Projection

Large-scale visuals mapped onto walls, floors or objects.

03

Sensor

The exhibit reacts to movement, gesture or presence — no touching needed.

04

AR / VR

Immersive experiences a visitor steps into through a headset or device.

05

GenAI

Experiences powered by generative AI.

06

Multi-user games

Several visitors playing or building together at the same exhibit.

When to call us

Where our work starts

Knowing when to call saves everyone a round-trip.

Call us when
  • You have an exhibit idea that needs a screen, sensor, projection, virtual game idea or AI experience.
  • An existing digital exhibit is broken, glitchy or behaving oddly.
  • You want to know how visitors use a digital exhibit — or want it improved with that data.
  • You've seen new tech and want to know if it can work in a live gallery.

Email is the easiest and we'll take it from there. The clearer you can describe what the visitor should experience, the faster we can tell you what's possible.

All About You Gallery

An intergalactic "identity-registration portal" run by the fictional Zinions at ParSEC Whitefield. Visitors collect an RFID card and move through stations that read, translate and reinterpret who they are — movement, body, name, birth and creative trace — ending in a personalised registration receipt. Return the card and the personal session is cleared; only anonymised collective patterns remain.

15–25 min journey2,302 visitors registered

Every station asks a question

A techno-monkey studies and mimics your movement (How do you move?). A round glass scanner turns your palm into playful statistics (What's in your hands?). Your name is reinterpreted twelve ways (What's in your name?). Three rotary dials take your date of birth and a layered projection answers (When did you begin?). A UV scribbling wall tracks nothing at all — the one station with no data capture (What do you leave behind?). At the exit, a thermal printer compiles the journey into a receipt: Now you know.

Inside the gallery

Rename exhibit — visitors at the 'bearing the name given' console with projected name displays
Rename · What's in your name?Type your name on a pair of MIDI keyboards and it renders twelve ways across three ceiling projectors — plus blinked out in Morse and pinned in Braille on a 12-electromagnet unit.
Palm exhibit — 'mapped in palms' scanner station with round glass scanner and dashboard buttons
Palm · What's in your hands?A round glass scanner measures your palm — length, width, grip span — and plays it back as comparisons across eight categories.
Planar exhibit — 'when stars aligned' five-layer mesh projection rig with dial console
Planar · When did you begin?Dial in your date of birth and a five-layer mesh projection floats back your cosmic statistics as a 90-second animation.

Under the hood

One shared RFID session threads the gallery together. TouchDesigner instances and a central mainframe run the floor, Unity renders the AR monkey, ESP32 boards drive the station electronics, and a lone Raspberry Pi powers the receipt printer — on a stack spanning Python, Node, MongoDB, WebSockets and Stellarium.

Version 1 launched June 2026 with nine of eleven stations live. Phase 2 — the Nebula reflex challenge and a Rube Goldberg data visualiser — is underway.

Digital Driving Challenge

A driving simulator for the Traffic gallery at ParSEC Whitefield, built with Volvo, Bengaluru Traffic Police and IIT Kanpur. Visitors take the wheel for a first-person drive through Bengaluru streets — and the game progressively disrupts their visual and motor control, simulating what distraction and drink-driving actually do.

~5-minute drive

Two rounds, one message

Round one is a day-mode drive under a storm of notifications — salary-credited pings, EMI alerts, calls, social media, even cat videos — where one glance at a pop-up is enough to crash. Round two switches to night: the windshield blurs in stages and steering control slips away, simulating driving under influence. Every run is scored on coins collected, and a leaderboard displays the day's best drives.
