Concepted, designed and programmed an interactive LED floor Versace’s pop-up store during China Fashion Week. The floor features a 3D underwater world with iridescent water shaders that react to a user’s footsteps. Pink 3D animals interactively swim below user’s feet when a person is detected, and a flocking algorithm was implemented for fish that swim towards users as they walk on the surface.
Additional art direction and creative concepting work done on the original installation concept and structure design. Creative and production executed by DE-YAN studio.
