Senses

It sees who is in the room

Depth cameras on the ceiling put every visitor on a live floorplan. Only positions and events travel on, never the video.

Mind & body

It reacts in light

Live AI engines restyle what the cameras see. One canvas is cut into slices, and every projector, frame and mirror plays its slice.

Dimitri De Jonghe

Co-founder of 204.ai with Cintia Aguiar Pinto, and a founder of RnA Studio in Lisbon. He trained as an engineer, with a PhD in micro-electronics and machine learning at KU Leuven. He then spent a decade building decentralised data and AI: Ascribe, where he co-wrote SPOOL to register art ownership on the Bitcoin blockchain, then BigchainDB, Ocean Protocol as Head of Research, Keyko and Nevermined. Today he builds the studio’s brain, from the FluxRT live engine to the studio-manager control plane.
