Living blob.

A physical body for artificial intelligence.

For Yandex Education at Picnic Afisha we built a digital object that embodies AI — a living blob flowing inside a translucent cylinder, reading the crowd and answering every touch.

Picnic Afisha — the cylinder pavilion
How it works

Depth cameras above, a blob below.

Above the cylinder, RealSense depth cameras watch the space. Computer vision turns the scene into signals; the real-time engine turns signals into behaviour; the LED cylinder turns behaviour into light.

More people — faster, brighter, more turbulent motion.
