Alternate Realities Explorations
Short, visual experiments pushing the boundaries of spatial computing and volumetric UX.
Matterport & Digital Avatars
Before Gaussian Splatting, this project leveraged photogrammetry to reconstruct 3D environments, injecting autonomous digital avatars into spatial twins for industries like retail and healthcare. It featured a custom speech-driven framework where the text stream and emojis dynamically triggered the avatar's real-time facial mimics and locomotion.
Looking Glass (2019)
Continuously evaluating state-of-the-art display technologies—from volumetric holographic interfaces like the Looking Glass to ultra-low-power e-ink screens and next-generation digital signage—to pioneer new forms of visual interaction at the bleeding edge of hardware innovation.
Applied AI, Edge Computing & Hardware Hacking
Grounding artificial intelligence in the real world. By combining microcontrollers, embedded computer vision, and retro-tech engineering, these experiments push computation to the edge. The goal is to transform abstract AI capabilities into tangible hardware solutions.
Minitel x LLM (2023)
A retro-engineering homage to Xavier Niel’s telematics legacy. This experiment bridges eras by connecting a vintage Minitel terminal to a modern cloud-based Large Language Model (LLM), enabling real-time AI conversations on a low-tech 1980s display.
ESP32 Edge Vision
Pushing generative AI out of the browser and into the physical world. This prototype connects a low-cost ESP32 camera directly to a multimodal LLM, granting the artificial intelligence physical sight and context-aware reasoning capabilities at the edge.
AxiDraw (2018)
Repurposing an industrial pen-plotter to bridge digital communication with physical artistry. This project hijacks the hardware to allow computer-driven, real-time drawing on unconventional surfaces like ceramic plates, transforming a digital chat into a tangible output.
Bartendro (2016)
An exploration of event-driven robotics and ambient computing. This connected automated bartender is entirely operated via natural language voice commands, blending IoT hardware with conversational AI for a frictionless user experience.
Pixel Dice (2024)
The technical foundation and precursor to the Tiny Expeditions ecosystem. This project explores the integration of Bluetooth-connected smart dice into traditional tabletop gaming, laying the groundwork for real-time phygital mechanics and interactive gameplay.
Innovation Frameworks & SaaS
Building the infrastructure for rapid prototyping and automated intelligence. This includes systemic approaches to technology watch, hybrid coding frameworks, and foundational architecture for voice-first applications and smart ecosystems.
S.A.R.A.H. (2012)
A pioneering open-source smart home framework that gathered a community of over 50,000 users. Developed after Siri but years before Alexa, it uniquely leveraged the Microsoft Kinect sensor to deliver ambient voice command and facial recognition for home automation.
Voice Assistant & ChatBot Framework (2015)
The architectural evolution of SARAH into a versatile, Node-RED-based ChatBot framework. This infrastructure served as the backbone for custom voice-first interfaces, smart mirrors, and bespoke smart speakers akin to early Google Nest devices.
Alambic & Overwatch (2020)
A major pivot of the Node-RED framework designed natively around Large Language Models (LLMs). It powers the previously mentioned IoT/Desktop edge cases and drives "Overwatch"—a comprehensive intelligence tool that automates technology watch, data synthesis, and the production of AI-generated newsletters and podcasts.
Thought Leadership, Écosystème & Événements
Decoding technological complexity for the broader ecosystem. This encompasses technology trend detection, media interventions, and championing ecosystem diversity to bridge the gap between deep tech and strategic business value.
Girls & Tech (2026)
Mentoring and accompanying a delegation of French female entrepreneurs to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This advocacy for diversity and leadership in the tech ecosystem was subsequently extended through a dedicated follow-up event hosted at Google.
Silicon Carne (2025)
Decoding CES 2025 technology trends alongside Carlos on “Silicon Carne,” France’s leading tech podcast. Additionally, acted as a key enabler and foundational contributor to the creation of the spin-off show “Le Festin.”
Global AI Paris
An exclusive, small-committee gathering of industry leaders and experts hosted at the Lawways offices in Paris, dedicated to high-level strategic and technical discussions around the future of Artificial Intelligence.
Corporate Strategy
Providing expert decryption of technological paradigms for diverse professional audiences. Interventions include strategic AI briefings for transition managers at Maestrium and analyzing the critical business and legal stakes of AI data scraping for major media publishers like Le Figaro.
