什么样的环境可能适合展示一个全都是关于人工智能的设备呢？

当然，一个科幻超级商场，你可以沉浸在未来通信和娱乐的愿景中。互动和响应式的照片装置、一个虚拟的唱片店，在其中可以参与和创造实时个性化的音乐，一个虚拟现实展台，参加虚拟派对，一个未来派餐馆等等。

为了推出Google Pixel 2，我们与Sunst Studio（空间概念和设计）和Boiler Room（音乐策划）合作，将这一切带到现实中。

像素肖像工作室

我们在商场内创建的主打项目是关于“智能相机”功能，名为“像素肖像工作室”- 由五个巨大的媒体墙组成的照片游乐场，竖立在空间中央。

响应式生成的图形

每面墙的一侧都配备了镜面表面，相反面则设置了响应式生成的图形装置，形成了个人图像的独特背景。我们编写了一个应用程序并设计了一个UI，使Pixel 2设备在使用Pixel 2本机相机应用程序的同时与装置进行通信。

自定义算法

捕获的图像经过一个自定义算法处理，添加了故障效果和几何图形以及Pixel记录公司的标志。这些生成的高度个性化的唱片封面设计 immediately 出现在像素唱片店区域内的巨大虚拟唱片架上（LED墙），但也可以由客人在唱片盒内作为实际唱片袖带拿走。

由AI驱动的音乐作品

但客人不仅带走了一个空的唱片袖带。当然，他们在里面发现了一张黑胶唱片。那张唱片上的音乐由Boiler Room工程师开发的几个算法创作的，基于客人在特殊的录音亭提交的短音频样本。

What might be a suitable environment to present a device that’s all about artificial intelligence?
Of course, a Sci-Fi Super Mall, where you immerse yourself into futuristic visions of communication and entertainment. Interactive and responsive photo installations, a virtual record store in which you can participate and create real-time personalized music, a VR booth to join virtual parties, a futuristic diner and a whole lot more.

For the launch of the Google Pixel 2 we joined forces with Sunst Studio (spatial concept & design) and Boiler Room (music curation) to bring exactly this to life.
Pixel Portrait Studio

The hero piece we created within the mall was all about the ‘Intelligent Camera’ feature and was called ‘Pixel Portrait Studio’ – a photo playground consisting of five massive media walls standing in a row in the center of the space.

Responsive generative graphics

One side of each wall was equipped with a mirrored surface, the opposite side with a responsive generative graphic installation, which formed the individual background of your personal image. We wrote an application and designed a UI to make the Pixel 2 devices communicate with the installation while using the Pixel 2 native camera app.

Custom algorithm

The captured images were processed by a custom algorithm which added glitch effects and several graphics, as well as the Pixel records logo to the image.These generative and highly individualized record cover designs appeared immediately on a massive virtual record shelf (LED walls) within the pixel record store area but could also be picked up by the guests as physical record sleeves in record boxes.

AI-driven music compositions

But the guests not only took an empty record sleeve home with them. Of course they found a vinyl record in it. The music on that record was created by several algorithms developed by Boiler Room engineers and were based on short audio samples that could be submitted by the guests at a special recording booth.
