About

Giovanni Betti explores the intersection of collaborative design, mixed reality, and digital fabrication, with a focus on how immersive technologies can transform the way we conceive and build physical spaces. His major contributions center on developing interactive, user-driven fabrication workflows that blur the line between virtual and real environments. In his most cited work, "Pop-Up Factory," created for the MakeCity Festival 2018 in Berlin, Betti designed a mixed reality installation where participants collaboratively control and alter a live fabrication process through a custom holographic interface. This work demonstrates a novel approach to design, where user input is streamed in real-time to shape a physical structure, redefining the role of the public in architectural production. With over 16 citations across his key papers, Betti’s research has been recognized for its innovative integration of multi-modal interaction and participatory design. His project "Communication Landscapes" further extends these ideas, exploring how mixed reality can mediate social and spatial experiences. Betti’s work is notable for its hands-on, experimental nature, bridging cutting-edge technology with public engagement and offering a compelling vision for the future of collaborative making.
