“Pupinova nauka” (Pupin’s Science) is an exhibition dedicated to Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin (1858 – 1935) a Serbian-American physicist, best known for devising means of greatly extending the range of long-distance telephone communication by placing loading coils of wire at predetermined intervals along the transmitting wire – known as “pupinization”.
The exhibition design is inspired by the very process of his scientific work at the end of 19th century and the laboratory setting with 5 boxes and artificial line used to prove the pupinization principle. Each of the boxes highlighting different aspects of his work is digitally enhanced through multimedia content available in Augmented Reality. Using mixed reality approach, the exhibition aims to create a new interface that will encourage interaction and engagement and thus promote Pupin’s work to new and diverse audience.
Za Obrazovno istraživačko društvo Mihajlo Pupin smo realizovali izložbu Pupinova nauka. Postavka je inspirisana laboratorijskom aparaturom (5 kutija sa kalemovima) pomoću koje je Mihajlo Pupin krajem devetnaestog veka eksperimentalno dokazao mogućnost telegrafskog i telefonskog prenosa na velike daljine, što je osnova procesa koji je kasnije nazvan “pupinizacija”. Svaka kutija sadrži po nekoliko značajnih segmenata Pupinovog naučnog dela, kao i mnoge druge zanimljive činjenice predstavljene kroz digitalnu nadgradnju u proširenoj stvarnosti.

Exhibition “Pupin / From Physical to Spiritual Reality” represents the biggest overview of Michael Pupin’s life and work. For the first time, interactive new media solutions (using augmented reality, virtual reality, motion tracking, voice recognition …) were implemented at this scale; Conceived, designed, and implemented by LiveViewStudio, with a unique combination of physical and virtual elements, Pupin’s life and science work could be explored in new, educative and fun way.
Za Istorijski muzej Srbije smo kreirali izložbu “Pupin / Od fizičke ka duhovnoj realnosti” koja predstavlja sveobuhvatni pregled života i dela Mihajla Pupina. Dizajn izložbe, sa brojnim interaktivnim instalacijama, razvili smo sa idejom da posetioce pretvorimo u aktivne učesnike postavke koji kroz inovativna rešenja upoznaju ne samo značajne pronalaske i dela iz prošlosti već i uzbudljive tehnologije budućnosti.

A contemporary museum project dedicated to the First World War centenary. The introductory part of the exhibition has been designed with the aim of representing the so called “bell époque” and the dynamic growth of Serbian society in the field of politics, culture and economy at the beginning of the 20th century. Using geolocation and augmented reality, the Srbija 1914 app enables the museum exhibition to spread over streets of Belgrade presenting historical facts at places of their origin, making stories more contextual and encouraging immersion into the past. The “Treasure Hunt” takes users to various points in the city where they can unlock the content and receive the coupon for a free gift ticket at the museum. When at one of the locations the app recognizes the environment and displays multimedia information. When in front of the National Theatre users may see a poster for the opera and listen to the opera played at the theatre 100 years ago, or discover an image of the Prime Minister of the time at the place where he actually rejected the Austria-Hungary’s ultimatum to Serbia.
At the museum itself, numerous exhibits are enriched with virtual information: 3D animations, videos, sounds, digital legends…Using latest tracking technologies and 3D mapping / object recognition, old gramophone is augmented with an animated 3D character telling the story about Belgrade’s development at the beginning of 20th century. Also, one of the most attractive interactive installation is the map of Europe, overlaid with 3D animations presenting important battles in 1914 …
First war aircraft and the armored vehicles are presented through augmented reality dioramas.
Throughout the exhibition catalogue pages are overlaid with interactive content in augmented reality. Within the workshop and children’s program there are also AR coloring books. The colouring book can be downloaded from the exhibition web site www.srbija1914.rs

U okviru izložbe Putevi hrane, osmislili smo i realizovali interaktivnu instalaciju koja predstavlja dekonstruisanu slavsku trpezu. Pomoću AR aplikacije i smart telefona posetioci su imali priliku da na izloženim eksponatima otkriju multimedijalnu nadgradnju i virtuelne legende u proširenoj stvarnosti. Najveće interesovanje izazvali su Slavski kolač, koji aktivira tonski zapis i “objašnjava” značenje Slave, kao i viljuška koja “svedoči” o susretu Stefana Nemanje i Fridriha Barbarose. Oval, lopar, tanjir i poklopac su kroz video zapise predstavili neke od običaja karakterističnih za srpsku kuhinju, dok je u drugom delu postavke animirani zdravičar posetioce pozdravljao sa zdravicom rakiji.

Za Jugoslovensku Kinoteku smo, u okviru izložbe “Srbi na filmu u Prvom svetskom ratu”, kreirali augmented reality mapu. Mapa predstavlja sedam lokacija na kojima su nastali filmski zapisi o značajnim događajima u Prvom svetskom ratu. Lokacije su obeležene fotografijama iz filmova koje (pomoću AR aplikacije za smart telefone) služe kao markeri za aktivaciju filmskih zapisa u proširenoj stvarnosti.

Financed by EU Commission, the project “TECHCOOLTOUR: Augmented Reality for Roman and Byzantine itineraries” aims to promote two historical trans-national EU cultural routes exploiting developed ICT tools and exploring new media potential in presentation of historical heritage.
The Techcooltour cross media platform represents an innovative approach that brings together traditional and new media in presentation of archeological sites, bridging the gap between physical and digital in order to enable memorable, interactive and novel experience to the visitors.
Retracing the history of influences, objectives and developments of two great empires Roman and Byzantine, which shaped the cultural landscape of Europe, the project aims at defining a common thread that links places and regions and helps represent the richness and uniqueness of European cultural identity.
Mobile app. Techcooltour, enables the visitors to use their mobile phones as pocket sized screens through which surrounding spaces become stages for extra information. Depending on their location users may find information on 40 archeological locations, spread over 4 countries layered over the camera live-view and access additional information such as images, stories and routes to the sites. The information on locations, available through Augmented Reality view reinforces the idea of wider context within each of the sites should be understood, and thus appreciated.
Twelve archeological location are marked with interactive info boards that act as markers for augmented reality content, such as 3d reconstructions, videos, virtual guides, 360 degree panoramas and so on. The 12 archeological sites themselves, and the interpretative AR layers are specifically chosen to clearly communicate the advantages AR introduces in different contexts.
Interactive experience is further extended through interactive brochures and map, and also website offering in depth information on more then 40 historical sites.
Home page map is a symbolic presentation of the Augmented Reality use in promotion of cultural heritage. Go to www.techcooltour.com, drag the phone illustration over the pins and discover additional information on Roman or Byzantine sites and corresponding interactive inboards …
Within the last part of the project we also developed app for augmented reality glasses.
The project was featured at: AWE (Automotive and Tourism) – Santa Clara, California (June 2013) 6th International Congress Cultural Heritage – Athens, Greece (October 2013) Digital Heritage Expo – Marseille, France (October 2013) Museums and Web – Hong Kong, China (December 2013) …
