Hôtel Tuileries
Ghost Mirror and Endless View
The Hôtel Tuileries is based on the universe of Marie-Antoinette and her ‘favorites’. The Vibrant Project was asked to work on the concept of the ‘favorites’ and on two very specific objects.
The ‘Ghost Mirrors': three mirrors, craftmanshipped like in the 18th century. When passing by the mirror, an animated portrait of Marie-Antoinette appears like a gentle ghost.
The « Endless View » : thought a custom made french window, the hotel hall opens on the perpective of a digital trompe l’œil. The images where shot in 4K at the château de Breteuil, the castle which inspired Perrault for his fairy tales.
Le Peuple des Cours
Last summer, the Vibrant Project launched a brand new experience: get your own 3D figurine!
From July 2014 to January 2015, a 3D figurine was offered every day to a lucky visitor of the Cour Bleue of the BHV Marais L/Homme. The principle of the game was simple : Select an ‘elf’ (an inedit objet printed in 3D) by its character and its look. Each ‘elf’ is connected to an app on a tablet though an RFID-chip. The app on the tablet is an instant-win game. So the winner of the day could go directly to the 3D Studio close by and get his figurine done instantaneously.
Any passerby could win it while enjoying a beautiful sheltered terrace in the heart of Paris.
Hundreds of figurines are unveiled in a special set that is fully conceived by The Vibrant Project. The whole scene reflects the BHV Marais’ look and feel.
Moïmee
Bring Out Your Inner Character
MOÏMEE has developed proprietary 3D scanning, modeling and printing technologies, which make it now possible for anyone to get their portrait made in 3D. Moïmees are photo-realistic figurines 3D-printed at a size ranging from 6 to 17cm (2.36in to 6.7in).
Combining cutting-edge technology with a strong tradition of craftsmanship, MOÏMEE is a reminder of the Great Masters and commissioned portraitists historically found in this part of the world.
In addition to pioneering a new technology, MOÏMEE is radically changing the way we represent ourselves. While photos have become increasingly volatile with social media, Moïmees represent an augmented portrait. A Moïmee is a special kind of portrait—on that is tangible, timeless, and valuable.

La Cour Bleue
La Cour Bleue, inside the BHV Marais L/HOMME Store, home to the first 3D Portrait Studio
As part of the BHV’s continued effort to reinvent itself, La Cour Bleue is the latest and certainly most surprising example of this transformative endeavor. By design, it is a place of gustatory pleasures, farniente and discovery of all kinds, which has quickly become a popular spot in the Marais.
The Vibrant Project was commissioned to create a universe of calm and innovation within the BHV Marais L/Homme which was opened to the public in May 2014.
Sponsor of the project is CITYNOVE, the real estate subsidiary of the Galeries Lafayette Groupe. In promoting the launch of the first 3D Portrait Studio, CITYNOVE achieves two strategic objectives. First, to familiarize passers-by with a new route in their neighborhood. Second, to develop the a location for its new shopping offer.

Dynamic Sign
A e-paper signage specially designed for the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh
Facing the invasion of our cities with monitor based digital signage, The Vibrant Project began to think about different applications using electronic paper.
Electronic paper is an emerging technology including very low power consumption, thin profile and high resolution. Moreover it is a passive display technology with no direct light emission, hence very soft and discreet for users. The result is a dynamic display surface which really looks like paper!
Located in the City of Arles in the south of France (Provence), the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh is a very special museum centered of the famous Vincent Van Gogh who spent 15 months in the city of Arles, where he painted his finest masterpieces.
At the entrance of the Fundation, The Vibrant Project designed a beautiful signage, incrusted into the wall, embedding two 10 inches displays. The display can be remotely managed through a web interface allowing the content to be changed and scheduled.

LES SENTIERS NUMERIQUES© / Digital pathways
A connected luminous path through the city of Arles (Provence)
The Tabaluz (intelligent lighting tablets) adorn the facades of city streets, replacing the doors of the electric cupboards of the ERDF. A clever installation with a design that seamlessly integrates the cityscape and invigorates otherwise meaningless street furniture. 40 of these tablets now draw a path for you to follow through the streets of the city.
Tabaluz are lit colored windows (made of woven optical fiber and LED materials), that deliver information to Arles residents and visitors. Created in collaboration with dynamic economic and cultural stakeholders of the city, the contents of each Tabaluz include QR codes, which are virtual gateways to rich online content (videos, sounds, games, pictures, 3D, cartoons, etc…) that can be accessed using smartphones or tablet computers (50% of internet connections in 2013).
Thanks to digital technology, new experiences are accessible: listen to the podcast of a concert playing that same evening, play and learn about current exhibitions, discover booksellers’ monthly favorites in video, access new views, participate in a giant treasure hunt, access audio tours, report on the accessibility of surrounding streets.
Walls become urban media outlets. People can surf hyper local info. Tourism is given a boost.
Partners : Arles / PACALABS / ERDF – GROUPE EDF / MP2013
Project : Les Sentiers Numériques is the first dynamic signage system, which combines lightblazing device and programmable communication displays.

BIOTHERM – Interactive Scenography
For Biotherm, we invented an immersive room allowing visitors to dive into the deep seas world.
In collaboration with BIOTHERM and VE-ART on their “Beauty From The Deep Exeperience”, The Vibrant Project created an immersive room allowing visitors to dive into the deep seas world.
This experience took place in several cities :
– Paris – Lyon – Marseille – Bordeaux – Lille
The installation consists in a dark room bathed in a blue ambiant light. At the back of the room, a big world map invite people to discover around the globe three different microorganisms.
Entering the room, each person is assigned an aquatic avatar represented by blue vibrant cells on a ground and a particular sound.
Moving accross the room, the avatar stay connected to his owner and moves with him.
When two or more group of cells are close enough they seems to merge in a bigger cell.
Sometimes, a cell separate itself from his owner to reach the world map, inviting the user to get closer of the world map.
In front of the map, on the ground, there are 3 halos of light. Entering into a light is the starting point of your journey…
