Immersive voice experience

Ocean-awareness installation powered by a 100% local AI

Immersive voice experience

Project

For the “Monsters of the Oceans” operation, an immersive voice installation was designed to let the public question the sea about its difficult cohabitation with humans. Visitors ask their question on screen, by keyboard, or out loud, and receive an answer embodied by a deep, mysterious voice. The entire chain runs locally on a simple Mac Mini, without any Internet connection. This on-premise choice guarantees robustness in a high-traffic venue, full confidentiality of exchanges, and true energy frugality, consistent with the message conveyed. A RAG (validated with the aquarium) ensures reliable answers faithful to the scientific discourse.
