To be able to walk through a cave inhabited over 500,000 years ago, visualize the remains of human occupation and then go out into the surrounding valley to observe the flora and fauna of that era: that's the dream of archaeologists at the Tautavel site in the Pyrénées-Orientales region of France.
Today, this dream is almost a reality with the Schopper project, supported by the French National Research Agency. Five French partners - three laboratories (CERP-HNHP, CEROS and LIX) and two companies (Craft.AI and Immersion Tools) - are working together to create innovative technological solutions for archaeological research.
One of the results of this project is a technology that generates landscapes of the Tautavel valley, frequented by prehistoric man during contrasting climatic periods (glacial and interglacial) between 600,000 and 90,000 years ago.
The results of an ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) project using artificial intelligence and virtual reality to create prehistoric simulations for the Tautavel site. When private companies work hand in hand with public research labs. A real treat for me!

Yes! Working on this project for 4 years has been an immense pleasure as R&D manager for the teams behind easysuite360 😉. Firstly, because of the discovery of new worlds and new professions, and also because we had an incredible playground to validate, through rigorous protocols, the fact that virtual reality, in immersion, is a real plus and leads to a rethinking of the relationship between the real and digital worlds. Imagine wandering through the Tautavel cave, amidst 450,000 archaeological objects, accessing their files on a 1:1 scale, filtering the elements of the database according to your own criteria, visually, in 2 clicks (and in immersion!), instead of reading the information in an Excel table derived from an SQL query.

💡 A credo: simplify life for 360° content producers with a universal "NoCode" tool that transforms images or videos into truly interactive immersive experiences!
🏁 My first brand, subOceana, was born in "a" metaverse, in 2007... 👂 And already with this idea: putting technology at the service of meaning and the human.
🏷 I've never really liked labels, headings, categories or other drawers: every community has its own language, every profession its own jargon, and depending on the world you're in or the people you meet, what makes sense 🧑🎓 in one case can turn out to be completely ridiculous 🥳 or outdated in another.
🤩 What I really like: spending hours testing, twisting tools, breaking established habits. Innovating*, not necessarily to make something new, but to make tech invisible and put it at the service of those who need it. Like when you spend time cooking a complicated dish, having in mind the pleasure of simplicity and conviviality 🥂 that will follow.
It's this technological conviviality that I seek to cultivate. And that's what we transmit at explorations360.
🕵♂️🕵♀️👨🚀👩🚀👨🚒👩🚒👷♂️👷♀️👨🎨👩🎨👨💻👩💻 A customer (ours are professionals), who can easily appropriate technology (in this case, virtual reality) and let it take a back seat to the experience and the message, will use it to increase their ability to create, train, communicate, share and inspire their own audience.
Virtual reality must not impress. It must transform.
At explorations360, we help hospitals, manufacturers, cultural players and training organizations to engage their teams, train effectively and pass on knowledge in new ways.
Thanks to a simple yet powerful platform, we have already helped more than 100 organizations create customized immersive experiences:
- Industrial safety courses
- Care habituation for the disabled
- Interactive cultural tours
- Experiential & inclusive tourism
- Immersive training for the food industry
What sets us apart?
- Our integrated production, scripting and support capabilities
We believe that technology should be replaced by the message.

*Innovating: talking 6 months before others about things... that we've been doing for 10 years to general indifference, sometimes tinged with a little mockery 😉
