STEM Exhibition 2012

The third Phoenix Partner Annual Conference was held on Monday 10 December between 4pm and 6pm in the Engineering & Computing Building at Coventry University, UK. A live demonstration of the RomaNova project was performed by myself and my student Alina Ene, to about fifty visitors and staff. RomaNova is a prototype system for cultural heritage based on brain computer interfaces for navigating and interacting with serious games.


The interactive game is built upon Rome Reborn one of the most realistic 3D representations of Ancient Rome currently in existence. This 3D representation provides high fidelity 3D digital models which can be explored in real-time. The aim of the game is to control an avatar inside virtual Rome and interact with intelligent agents while learning at the same time. Both navigation and interaction is performed using brain-wave technology.
