It will present the theorical, practical and technical aspects that are useful in this field of both software.

MILLUMIN & INTERACTIVE VIDEOMAPPINGS (May 6th and 7th)
&#8232;Workshop presented by Philippe Chaurand (FR).&#8232;Millumin is a revolutionary tool to create and perform audiovisual shows, from theater to videomapping, from dance to interactive installations.It has many great features to integrate easily video and interactions on stage : timeline, multiscreen/softedge, videomapping facilities, collaboration with other devices/softwares, etc. Millumin is different. Because it has a clear and intuitive graphic interface. Because it is closely build with user feedback. Because it aims to give complementary and creative tools (via Millumin&#8217;s lab).
