Chapel of La Grave

Toulouse

The image shows a group of four people interacting with a large touchscreen display in a museum or gallery setting. They appear engaged and curious as they look at the screen, which likely displays information or visuals related to art or history. The environment has a warm, ambient lighting and features architectural details typical of a historical building. Other visitors can be seen in the background, exploring the space. The overall atmosphere feels lively and educational.

A landmark of the Saint-Cyprien neighborhood in Toulouse, the Chapel of La Grave was built in the 18th century on a gravel bank deposited by the Garonne River, from which it gets its name. Its dome, like a true beacon, attracts the attention of residents both during the day and at night when it is illuminated with a thousand lights.

We have developed, along with our friends from Mosquito and Animaviva, three tactile tables. As is our custom, these developments are based on Web technologies using the CMS SPIP.

History, evolution, and architecture

This first device, available in three languages (French, English, Spanish), is particularly rich and offers several very different interfaces:
• a vertical slider presenting the history of the hospital; a red pointer moves across the screen to indicate geographical locations;
• a 360° panoramic tour;
• a vertical slider showcasing comparable buildings;
• two video interfaces.

Testimonials and confidences

This device, available in three languages and also accessible in French Sign Language (LSF), features videos of interviews with project leaders (architect, historians, medical professors), as well as a collection of recordings of very moving testimonials from staff and residents of the old hospital neighborhood.

In 1800, during the period of the "Great confinement"

This third device presents an interactive historical map, spanning three floors, with points of interest explained.
