Description
The Multi Mega Book is an "uptodate" electronic book sculpture ... a magical and stimulating journey through some of the most intense moments of human experience in media, technology, science, architecture and culture.

The project is available MMB Architectonic-multimedia installation, MMB Virtual Application and MMB Net-version.

The Multi Mega Book in the Cave was developed for CAVE: Cave AutomaticVirtualEnvironment"; a VR full-inmersive-interactive installation with high resolution stereoscopic images. The MultiMega Book (MMB) in the CAVE (VR-application) expands one Maxi-Page of the ongoing Multi-Mega-Book Project. The MMB in the CAVE focuses on the specific argument of "The shift from the printed+book ... to the electronic text+digital skin". The avatar Nem is composed using basic geometric forms, circle, triangle, sphere. These shapes shift to create a column or a character. In the Renaissance city he appears first as an "info-point" column. As the visitors approach, he opens up into a "humanoide" figure and establishes an interactive relationship with them as he guides them through the environment.
