BREAKDOWN
From birth to union with the universe, The Source tells the evolution of the species that populate AYA Universe and does so through a room with immersive projections, lights, and an interactive dome positioned in the center of the room. Different chapters alternated for this story, each of which with different types of interactive elements to the touch of the visitors. Different scenes with various graphic solutions, all created in Notch on the UV Map of the Dome.

CHAPTER 1 - ORIGIN
The birth involved a slow evolution of water ripple effects where the user could mix the various waves generated by the background graphic content. This evolved until the dome was filled with a transparent liquid, as if the waves were propagating in the sea.

CHAPTER 2 - GALAXY
Here the first forms of life were composed and the user could generate new ones by touch, creating luminous trails as they passed and movements of the particle flow, through a slow evolution that filled the entire scene.

CHAPTER 3 - CELLULARS
The life forms became cells, as under a microscope the user could generate reaction-diffusion life forms that slowly covered the entire surface.

CHAPTER 4 - BLOBS
Here the forms of life began to join together and took on increasingly defined and fluid shapes, the user could move them in space and play with the blobs that composed them.

CHAPTER 5 - OUMS EGGS
Finally, the life forms took the form of floating eggs, the Oums Eggs, from which all the life forms of AYA would be born. The user could move them in space and unite them to create agglomerations of eggs and increasingly larger creatures.

EXTRA BACKGROUNDS - WAVES
A further chapter involved covering the dome with elements that recalled the surrounding vegetation represented by the video content on the walls. The user could interact with it by moving the vegetation by touching the dome.
Some backup graphics were also produced to match the surrounding setting when the show would not be running for some reason.
