LHCb IN AUGMENTED REALITY

Interaction design, scientific visualization and augmented reality

Collaboration with the Science Pavilion of the University of Zurich for an augmented reality installation about the LHCb experiment at CERN. The project aimed to make the invisible processes of particle physics visible and comprehensible through immersive visualization.

The installation was built around a life-scale model of the LHCb detector, the part of the Large Hadron Collider that studies differences between matter and antimatter by observing the decays of beauty quarks (b quarks). Augmented reality animations were overlaid on the model to illustrate the life cycle of a particle collision, from proton beams crossing and particles decaying to the collection and analysis of data.

The experience combined motion graphics, voice-over narration, and contextual text. Its design was developed in close collaboration with LHCb scientists to ensure the visualizations accurately represented each stage of the experiment.
