Kirini: An Interactive Projection-Mapping Installation for Storytelling About Mediterranean Beekeeping Heritage

Project Kirini is an autonomous interactive indoor exhibit, which utilizes the technologies of projection mapping and physical computing to highlight the cultural heritage of beekeeping in the island region of Cyclades in Greece. The team members researched and collected material on the tradition and the techniques of beekeeping from the ancient times until today through bibliographies and physical interviews. After the completion of the research and organization of the information, the team designed four different types of interactive scenarios. Through a set of formative evaluations, several issues comments and ideas emerged and iteratively implemented to enhance the prototype. Having gathered the results and the conclusions from the evaluations an interactive exhibit was produced and installed in public space.
