Experiential Cinema - Headfull

Become the main character in your very own movie! Move through unique environments and overcome challenges and obstacles as the story unfolds around you. A brand new form of entertainment which combines the interactive puzzles of an escape room, the excitement of a theme park, and the set design of a Hollywood movie.

Interactive puzzles rendered in real-time

SMODE was used for flexible sequencing and logic control in this complex interactive experience. Each puzzle was controlled by an Arduino that communicated to SMODE via OSC. Videos for the interactive puzzles were created in SMODE and are rendered in real-time.

• 11 projectors / screens
• 40 Arduino devices controlled by Smode via OSC
• 1 wifi tablet for staff that controls Smode via OSC

“Our escape room was designed, programmed and run almost entirely through SMODE. We continue to be impressed at just how versatile it is, from sound and lighting cues, to video making and even interactive games. SMODE has opened the door to so many creative possibilities, and we can’t imagine how the project would have been possible without it.”
