The Technology
Physical map with control tokens. Touch, place, manipulate. Synchronized digital projection responds in real-time, revealing information, triggering timelines, building narratives. Physical and digital dissolve into one.
The Case Study: Avezzano che fu
Permanent installation combining physical token placement with digital screens to explore the historical city before the 1915 earthquake. Visitors literally excavate layers of history.

Who Uses It
Museums and exhibitions (layered historical narratives). Cultural heritage sites (interactive documentation). Brand experiences (spatial storytelling). Education (tangible geography and history). Urban planning (test scenarios with physical blocks).
Why It Works
Tangible interaction is more powerful than screens. Multiple people can play together. No training needed. Feedback is immediate (under 100ms). Accessibility is built-in.
