Al GEOpenDay la presentazione della Libreria Multimediale Geocart

Il #GEOpenDay della Geocart, in programma il 26 giugno a Potenza, sarà l'occasione per lanciare alcuni nuovi prodotti altamente innovativi e digitali.

Tra le attività in programma verrà presentata la nuova Libreria Multimediale Geocart. Il 26 giugno, durante il #GEOpenDay, nel Centro Entertainment & Media di Geocart, il laboratorio Digital Lighthouse, verranno mostrate alcune delle accurate ricostruzioni virtuali che sono state sviluppate durante i mesi di ricerca e si potranno osservare gli output del percorso elaborativo che i dati percorrono dal momento della loro acquisizione, fino al desktop. La scommessa di Geocart parte proprio da qui, con una nuova tecnica sviluppata dalla società che permette di sfruttare i dati provenienti dai nostri sensori e dalle tecnologie utilizzate nelle fasi di telerilevamento, per ricostruire con soluzioni inedite: accurati modelli digitali 3D e simulazioni virtuali di interi paesaggi, siti d’interesse, set, architetture o di oggetti.

Le stesse Realtà Virtuali, potranno essere esplorate con tecnologia immersiva ed in particolare attraverso l'utilizzo degli occhiali Oculus Rift, sui quali la Geocart sta continuando i test e la preparazione di Demo. Un'esperienza multi sensoriale che permette di immergersi completamente in realtà parallele, che siano fedeli ricostruzioni o scenari di completa fantasia, ma sempre frutto di innovative elaborazioni al computer. Con la Realtà Virtuale viene avvertito lo spazio anche se il proprio corpo non è lì! E' una frattura sensoriale, un'asincronia, la base per infinite sperimentazioni narrative.

Propri a partire da 26 Giugno, attraverso il portale geocartspa.it, l'utente verrà accompagnato in viaggi virtuali interattivi e potrà ammirare alcuni siti lucani di rilevanza storico/culturale, potrà esaminare i modelli 3D, girarci intorno e ritornare a volare nella realtà virtuale per trasferirsi in un'altro luogo. Importanti architetture storiche della città di Potenza come il Ponte Musmeci, la Cattedrale di San Gerardo, Torre Guevara o quelle presenti a Matera, Capitale europea della cultura 2019, come la Cripta del Peccato Originale e il Castello Tramontano, saranno alcuni dei luoghi visitabili interattivamente sulla nostra libreria.

Elementi distintivi della soluzione firmata Geocart, riguarda la compresenza di tre livelli di visualizzazione, pensati per migliorare l'esperienza di navigazione: il primo, l'interfaccia di ingresso, sarà una cartografia digitale intuitiva che metterà in evidenza le città o i luoghi in cui saranno presenti le ricostruzioni virtuali; selezionata la città o il luogo da "visitare", si accederà al secondo livello, navigando attraverso un modello 3D "Point Cloud" su cui saranno presenti le architetture elaborate.
I modelli Point Cloud - nuvole di punti - sono delle suggestive rappresentazioni 3D, frutto dell'elaborazione dei dati provenienti dai sensori Laser Scanner e da fotocamere digitali ad alta risoluzione, utilizzati nelle fasi di telerilevamento aereo e terrestre. Il laser scanner rappresenta uno dei sensori innovativi che la Geocart utilizza per le attività di telerilevamento, per "radiografare il territorio", ed è il principale sensore alla base delle nuove tecniche di computer grafica implementate dalla società. I dati point cloud infatti, sono un'output intermedio della catena di processamento che permette di ottenere modelli 3D accurati e realistici. Ultimo livello di interazione con la libreria multimediale, è rappresentato infine, dalla visualizzazione delle accurate realtà virtuali dei siti e delle architetture di interesse. Inoltre, con un apposito comando, potrà essere lanciato il rendering della struttura che si sta visitando e visualizzare il modello nella sua ricostruzione più completa e realistica, con un livello di dettaglio elevatissimo. E' proprio qui che la distanza tra mondo reale e virtuale diventa nullo e le due dimensioni si confonderanno inevitabilmente. Ogni tour virtuale, inoltre, sarà arricchito da informazioni storiche e scientifiche dei modelli visitati e da foto e testimonianze bibliografiche riportate in chiave moderna e critica. L'utente diventerà il "Caronte" di se stesso in un viaggio alla scoperta di luoghi, segreti e informazioni pensati, raccontati e visualizzati per rendere unico e piacevole il soggiorno nel mondo digitale.

The Anthology Film Archives Presents: The Italian Connection: Poliziotteschi and Other Italo-Crime Films of the 1960s and '70's

June 19 – June 29 Influenced both by 1960s political cinema and Italian crime novels, as well as by French noir and American cop movies like "Dirty Harry" and "The French Connection," many Italian filmmakers in the late-60s and early-70s gradually moved away from the spaghetti western genre, trading lone cowboys for ‘bad’ cops and the rough frontier of the American west for the mean streets of modern Italy. Just as they had with their westerns, they reinvented the borrowed genre with their inimitable eye for style and filled their stories with the kidnappings, heists, vigilante justice, and brutal violence that suffused this turbulent moment in post-boom 1970s Italy. The undercurrent of fatalism and cynicism in these uncompromising movies is eerily reminiscent of the state of discontent in Italy today. ‘The Italian Connection’ showcases the diversity and innovation found in the genre, from the gangster noir of Fernando Di Leo’s "Caliber 9" ...

Ornella Muti: Five decades of Acting and Still Going Strong

Ornella Muti was born Francesca Romana Rivelli in Rome in 1955 to a Neapolitan father and an Estonian mother. She began her career as a model during her teenage years and made her film debut in 1970 with “La Moglie più bella” (The Most Beautiful Wife). Her follow-up role was in the 1971 film, “Sole nella pelle” (Sun on the Skin), in which she played the daughter of wealthy parents who runs off with a hippie they don’t approve of. The film offers a telling journey through Italian society in the seventies, with its political climate, breathtaking seaside, and the styles and cars of that time. Much of the film is set amid the sunny Italian seaside and captures the innocence and beauty of first love. Muti made her American film debut in 1980 with "Flash Gordon." She played the role of Princess Aura. She’s appeared in two other American films, including “Oscar,” directed by John Landis and starring Don Ameche, Chazz Palminteri, and Sylvester Stallone. In 1992, she w...

Alessandro Gassmann: Born to Act

Alessandro Gassmannin his directorial debut "Razzabastarda" Alessandro Gassmann is the son of the iconic Italian actor/director Vittorio Gassman and French actress Juliette Mayniel. He was born in 1965 and grew up around cinema royalty. He made his cinema debut in 1982 at the age of 17 in his father's autobiographical film, "Di padre in figlio." He went on to study his craft under his father's direction at the Theatre Workshop of Florence. Vittorio Gassman was very active in theater and seemed just as comfortable on stage as he did in front of the camera. Known for his powerful interpretations of Dante's "Inferno" and "Paradiso," it is no surprise that he nurtured his son's acting aspirations on stage before he launched his career in television and film. One of Gassmann's strong qualities, which he undoubtedly inherited from his father is his incredible range and ease in going from genre to genre. He can play ...

Federico Fellini: A Look into the Life and Career of an Icon

A Fellini family portrait “The term became a common word to describe something on the surface you can say is bizarre or strange, but actually is really like a painter working on a film,” said Martin Scorsese when asked to define “Felliniesque,” an adjective inspired by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The oldest of three children, Federico Fellini was born in the seaside town of Rimini in 1920. His father was a traveling salesman, so his mother was left to do the bulk of raising the children. One can argue that Fellini was born for his destiny. “You could tell that even as a child, he was different and unique. He was very intelligent, well above average. He was always the one to organize things, direct the others, make up games. He could control the other kids with just a look, said Fellini’s sister, Maddalena, in an interview with journalist Gideon Bachmann. Not only was Fellini directing the children, but he was also putting on shows and charging ...

The Timeless Vision of Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pondering his films and poetry, I wonder if the uniqueness of Pier Paolo Pasolini's films was rooted in his unconventional childhood. Born in Bologna in 1922, Pasolini's father was a lieutenant in the army, and his family was always moving. He grew up in various small towns in Northern Italy. After his parents separated, he spent most of his time in his mother's hometown of Casarsa, in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. There, he grew to respect the area's peasant culture and began to write poetry in the region's dialect. He studied literature and art history at the University of Bologna and was drafted into the army during World War II. The war proved to be especially tragic for his family as his younger brother was executed by Communist partisans. Following the war, he returned to Casarsa where he worked as a teacher and ironically became a leading member of the Communist party there. Pasolini was later expelled from the party due to allegations of homo...
