About The Project CoCreativ is exploring a gesture- and voice-interactive LED installation for an on-site activation.

• Integrate speech-to-text, conversational AI, and text-to-speech tools
• Create and adapt generative visuals for a spherical LED display
• Integrate depth cameras and gesture-tracking technology
• Map and calibrate content using the LED vendor’s specifications
• Prototype solutions and communicate technical risks and tradeoffs
• Test, optimize, document, and support on-site deployment
