One of the most innovative activities is an interactive installation, composed of a large mirror screen from the company that incorporates motion sensors, in which the body movements made by people are replicated in a fun way and converted into artificial life.

This interactive installation, which was recently available to the public in Madrid's Callao cinemas (as the attached video shows), and now it is in the Telefónica Foundation Space, aims to disseminate the fusion between science, until, technology and education, in order for users to interact naturally with systems that are an everyday part of people's lives.
