Overview projects
The new mobility is shaping up to be different. People will be travelling around more efficiently, orchestrating their own movements, as it were. Mobility solutions will be combined continuously. Private transportation, public transit, and the pooling of vehicles will all mesh seamlessly into one smoothly functioning unit. Olympus is studying the role of electric vehicles within this evolving trend.
Developing a digital operating room platform is the main goal of this project. This platform will integrate video, lighting, recording and information gathering equipment via a central component. Moreover, Telesurgery also develops a basic technology that makes it possible to distribute surgical images, mainly within the hospital but also to remote sites and mobile devices.

A giant sphere that will be exhibited in the center of Ghent, will display the world we’re living in through a swirling storm of both abstract and recognizable images. This amazing work of art, based on the technique of video projection mapping, is the embodiment of a three-dimensional dream catcher.

Pavilion is a monumental kinetic installation with two large transparent sails swirling and circling through the space by means of motorized flagpoles. The installation translates urban data, weather conditions and the motion of the visitors into a dramatic choreography, sometimes violent, sometimes very delicate. The visitor can enter or lay down beneath this synthetic cloud and observe physical and acoustic patterns emerging and disappearing. A self-organizing and learning system interacts with the data from the urban environment and the presence and behaviour of the visitors.

The aim of this project is to develop a system that rearranges/remixes music compositions in relation to the surrounding geographic and spatial conditions.
