HUT-Théâtre continues! This collaborative playwriting project examines a research project aimed at understanding how tomorrow’s habitat can improve our daily lives. The CNRS Foundation and Capgemini Engineering have joined forces to support this experiment. scientific-socio-cultural” to deploy real-time interaction between spectators, actors and scientists during the show.
Have you ever imagined yourself living in the home of the future? An intelligent home made up of connected objects that would facilitate and optimize our daily lives. This raises a host of scientific, ethical, legal and cultural questions. Are we ready to hand over our most intimate data to third parties via sensors in our homes? How will our cognitive capacities evolve with the profusion of interactions with connected objects? And much more…
HUT-Théâtre is a collaborative theatrical writing concept emanating from the interdisciplinary research project HUman at home projecT (HUT), which aims to open dialogue on the issues and problems inherent in human-machine interactions in an ultra-connected environment. A play that awakens the audience’s curiosity about living conditions in the home of the future.
How will we live tomorrow? This is one of the questions raised by HUT . Bringing together 13 laboratories, this research project combines the exact, human and social sciences to understand how and in what way connected objects can change our living conditions, or lead to new legislative frameworks.
The CNRS Foundation and Capgemini Engineering have signed a sponsorship agreement to support the “HUT-Théâtre” project. Capgemini Engineering is committed to providing support for the development of a mobile solution enabling interactivity with the play. Spectators will be able to share and interact in real time with the actors and scientists on their emotions and questions during the play.
“The CNRS Foundation is delighted to sign this first skill-based sponsorship agreement, which will provide decisive support for the HUT-Théâtre project. In addition to the financial contribution it represents in the form of free intellectual services, skill-based sponsorship also offers an additional opportunity for interaction between the research teams and the sponsoring company”, says Michel Mortier, Managing Director of the CNRS Foundation.
