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 Sweetness and Genius of Giulietta Masina

Fellini and Masina on the set of "La Strada" As open-hearted and sunny as Federico Fellini was dark and complex, they were perfect counterpoints during a half-century of marriage and professional collaboration. Nicknamed a “female Chaplin” and described by Chaplin himself as the actress who moved him most, Giulietta Masina confronted the tragedy of her characters with an eternal innocence and enthusiasm that gave Italians hope in the most challenging of times. Born in 1921 in San Giorgio di Piano, a commune north of Bologna, Masina was the oldest of four children born to a father who was a music professor and violinist and a mother who was a grade-school teacher. Her parents sent her as a child to live in Rome with her widowed aunt while she attended school there. As Masina took an early interest in gymnastics, her aunt saw in her a passion for performing and encouraged her to pursue acting. So after high school, Masina attended Rome’s La...

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 ...

A Conversation with Documentary Filmmaker Luigi Di Gianni

His documentary films have given voice to a people who would have otherwise been forgotten while preserving rituals and traditions no longer practiced. Visually stunning and emotionally moving, they reflect an Italy we’re not used to seeing in cinema. Born in Naples in 1926, Luigi Di Gianni captured a dimension of Italy that people outside the South didn’t even know existed. He began his career working in the region of Basilicata, which back then was referred to as Lucania. He first visited the region with his parents when he was a boy. His father, being from the Lucanian village of Pescopagano, wanted to show his son his homeland. That trip made an impression on the 9-year-old and created a deep affection that would one day inspire him to return. “I always remained very emotional about returning to this part of my homeland of Lucania,” he says. “It seemed like a different planet compared to Rome, where I lived. The tiring journey, the unpaved roads, the difficulti...

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...
