"INNOVEXPO'S" subject is the development of innovative applications, which incorporate scientifically substantiated content. For the requirements of the project, the selection and dissemination of the Greek Mythology has been chosen as a case study. The multidisciplinary research will explain and document the causes of the creation of myths by seeking their relationship to natural phenomena and global geomorphological and geotectonic changes. Incorporating its results into technological applications will provide scientific validity and an attractive perspective to reading and presenting mythology. Augmented/mixed reality, tactile interaction, computer vision and radio-frequency recognition technologies will be used to implement an innovative technology framework that will conceptually convey the content.

Beyond Bruegel is an immersive art experience in which visitors -literally- walk in the oeuvre of the Flemish master Pieter Bruegel the Elder. By using high quality projections, visitors discover the style and characteristics of the painter in extraordinary detail. Bruegel's artwork comes to life as you wander through the landscapes that inspired him. Suddenly, you'll be walking alongside Mad Meg's army or sailing on a ship at the foot of the Tower of Babel. Bruegel tells the story of his life as well as musing on his thoughts and anxieties.
Beyond Bruegel is co-created with Bruegelexperts and is an official Flemish master expo by Visit Flanders. Visualising art through immersive projection is the perfect gateway to make art accessible to anyone and inspire many people to explore the original pieces!
