Project Overview
Renaissance Tales brings Florence’s artistic heritage to life through immersive storytelling. Starting in the Magi Chapel, users explore detailed recreations of frescoes, sculptures, and historic interiors. Guided by a motion-captured MetaHuman of Lorenzo de’ Medici, they uncover stories of Renaissance art, innovation, and culture.
Accurate Photogrammetry Scans
High-resolution photogrammetry captures real-world details from sites like the Magi Chapel, allowing users to walk through Florence’s art and architecture as it was.
Human Storytelling with Lorenzo de' Medici
A MetaHuman recreation of Lorenzo de’ Medici, based on a 16th-century bust, guides the experience, offering historical context, cultural anecdotes, and insights into Florence’s artistic revolution. This character-driven narrative deepens engagement and brings history to life through facial animation and voiceover.
Interactive Mixed Reality Exploration
Compatible with Microsoft’s MR headsets, the experience allows users to interact directly with objects and scenes—activating animations, unlocking educational content, and triggering moment-specific audio through hand tracking and spatial movement. Motion capture is used to authentically animate key figures and dioramas, enhancing realism and immersion.
