Case Study

Planetaria Festival: Interactive theater featuring avatars on climate change

We have developed a digital avatar with EngGPT for a unique theatrical experience, conceived by Stefano Accorsi and Filippo Gentili, produced and curated by Superhumans and the Fondazione Teatro della Toscana.

Challenge
To create an immersive experience that not only invites reflection on our relationship with the planet but also actively promotes a constructive and sustainable approach. The goal is to use art as a powerful tool to stimulate the senses, evoke deep emotions, and encourage reflection on the impact we, as humanity, have on three crucial elements: land, water, and air.
Approach
We have adopted a multidisciplinary approach that combines technology, theater, and environmental awareness. The collaboration between screenwriters, directors, AI developers, and ecology experts has seamlessly integrated an interactive digital avatar into the theatrical performance. Every stage of the process, from design to AI training, from technical integration to rehearsals with actors, has been carefully managed to ensure a smooth and engaging interaction with the audience.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
Using EngGPT, Engineering's proprietary Large Language Model, we have created a system capable of responding to questions on environmental topics in a sibylline manner. We have also developed a text-to-speech and speech-to-text component to enable AI interaction with actors and the audience. We have created an interactive avatar capable of real-time dialogue with artists, scientists, and the audience during live performances. Additionally, we have developed a dedicated dashboard for monitoring and managing any technical issues, implemented advanced backup solutions, and established rigorous protocols to ensure continuous connectivity and impeccable management of live events.
