The Glassworks Lab, led by Xavi Tribo, had the incredible privilege of creating an immersive experience to present Catalunya’s upcoming Centre for Digital Culture, La Foneria, in Barcelona.

This Mixed Reality adventure offers a sneak peek into the building’s future, allowing users to visualise its spaces, enjoy a sample of digital art, and experiment with visual algorithms. As they step into the heart of the former canon foundry wearing the Meta Quest Pro glasses, users can touch, learn, and play with art and technology through interactive experiences. The digital art from artists Alba G. Corral and Alice Labourel beautifully crowns the experience.

To promote the project, the Glassworks team also crafted the short presentation video that is shared here. NeRF algorithms were used to scan the building's interior and it was brought to life with Unreal's real-time video game technology. The film captures the very essence of La Foneria—a promotional piece that is disruptive in its own right, mirroring the innovation of the upcoming project.
