Holo-Math

Enjoy an immersive mixed reality experience!

This animation allows you to see the real world and its augmented version through a headset, and thus ‘go through the looking glass’. Discover mathematical objects and concepts in an original, collective and original way. The experience is enjoyed in groups with a scientific mediator. It's an opportunity to marvel at and question scientific issues that are difficult to observe or represent in our own world.

In this first episode, the experience takes you on a journey through Brownian motion, both a physical phenomenon and a mathematical concept, in a Maison Poincaré creation co-produced with Busterwood and Asobo Studio.

For all audiences aged 13 and over. It is recommended that an adult accompanies younger children.
