Within the Futur en Seine Festival, Iri and its partners gathered in the Salle Piazza of the Centre Pompidou from June 18th to 22th. Several prototypes and drafts of interfaces designed by design and engineering students were presented (Ensci, Esilv, Strate College) and industrial partners (Eureva, Blinkster, Musetrek). The Centre Pompidou has also presented two parts of its forthcoming digital ecosystem within the Virtual Centre Pompidou project (VCP) and the display of Blinkster in its areas.
