Project Details

The Multi Mega Books is an up-to-date electronic book sculpture presented as a fully immersive interactive installation with high-resolution stereoscopic imagery. 
 
Users explore and freely experience the different dimensions of the 15th and 20th centuries through virtual reality, stereoscopic 3D sound, and holophonic effects that generate an interactive navigation technique. 
 
The result is a magical and stimulating journey through some of the most intense moments of media, technology, science, architecture, and culture.
