Typeone Interactive Design
Typeone has worked with Museum of the Home’s curators to design digital interactives which work together to tell the stories of the new Rooms Through Time.
Typeone has created an interactive network of things to see, hear, feel and activate. An audio tapestry of retrofitted vintage home entertainment and ambient immersive audio sings, gurgles and hums between the rooms as stories are brought to life.
An immersive film, together with a phone-based Augmented Reality experience, tells stories at the confluence of urban living and the natural world.
Lighting Design
Drawing inspiration from urban nature, Typeone have reimagined Branson Coates’ distinctive architectural features, to create a chromatic, sound-reactive Light sculpture. Enter the space and you are enveloped in digital weather. Look up- above, electric rain patters rhythmically overhead. A rainy day- we’ll stay at home today. Look to the far end of the soffit, the glow of the geometric centre, where organic colour patterns lay claim to the negative space between the steel frame of the soffit.
Street Animals
Take part in an Interactive Augmented Reality Adventure, starring Anna-Maria Nabirye, Sarah Thom and Divian Ladwa. Follow Lucky the parakeet as she escapes from her cage, and Fennie the Fox as she hunts down dinner- find out about the emancipation of the parakeets and the urbanisation of the foxes through your own phone, and the magic of projection.
Roots and Clouds
Typeone have created an immersive Virtual Reality Screening space and are currently showing the preview of immersive film Roots and Clouds. Exploring Hackney and surrounding boroughs, catching glimpses, hearing snippets from inhabitants who are old, young, transient, returning and lifelong, award-winning directors Isobel Mascarenhas-Whitman and Alex Tennyson have used particle swarms and pointclouds to create a poignant illustration of the passage of time. With a score by Randomer, this is a piece that speaks to the soul of London.
Control System
The Real Rooms is the first permanent installation to use Typeone Realities, the Mixed Reality Show Control system which Typeone developed in 2021, using Innovate UK’s Creative Innovation Fund. This intricately networked system of media nodes allows audience members to trigger projection and augmented reality elements with their own phones, and by doing so automatically alter lighting and audio: Typeone Realities showcontrol offers presets for audiences with Access Requirements, in order to create multisensory stories which can be experienced in different ways.
