In 2013 he founded [https://www.mogees.co.uk/ Mogees Limited], a London based start-up whose products enable users to transform everyday objects into musical instruments and games using a vibration sensor and a mobile phone.

In 2017 he founded [https://www.hypersurfaces.com/ HyperSurfaces], a London-Los Angeles based company whose technology converts physical surfaces of any material, shape and form into data-enabled, interactive surfaces using a vibration sensor and a coin-sized chipset.

As an artist, he produces art installations around the world and performs with UK-based electronic music duo [[Plaid_(band)|Plaid]] ([[Warp_(record_label)|Warp records]]).

== Early life & education ==

Zamborlin was born in Vicenza, Italy.

After attending a degree in Mathematics between [[University of Padua]] (IT) and [http://liacs.leidenuniv.nl/ Liacs] (Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, NL), he enrolled in a master degree in Computer Science in [[University of Bologna]] (IT) which he has been awarded with summa cum laude.

In 2008 Zamborlin moved to [[Paris]], where he lived for 3 years. During this time he has been working at the [[IRCAM]] (Institute for Research and Coordination Acoustic Musical) – [[Centre Pompidou]] as a member of the [http://ismm.ircam.fr/people/ Sound Music Movement Interaction] team.

Under the supervision of [https://www.ircam.fr/person/frederic-bevilacqua/ Frederic Bevilacqua], he started experimenting with the use of [[Artificial Intelligence]] and human movements. He contributed to the creation of [http://ismm.ircam.fr/gesture-follower/ Gesture Follower], a software used to analyse body movements of performers and dancers through [[Motion_detection|motion sensors]] in order to control sound and visual media in [[real-time]]. Different human gestures could trigger different media as well as slowing and speeding up their reproduction based on the way such gestures are performed.

In 2011 Zamborlin relocated to London, where in 2013 he was granted a joint [[Doctor_of_Philosophy|PhD]] between [[Goldsmiths,_University_of_London|Goldsmiths, University of London]] and [[IRCAM|IRCAM - Centre Pompidou]]/[[Pierre_and_Marie_Curie_University|Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris 6]] in AI with the title [https://edb.upmc.fr/projet-recherche-doctoraux/afficher/4184 'Designing for Appropriation of Digital Music Technology']. The PhD focuses on the concept of Interactive Machine Learning

applied to digital musical instruments and performing arts.

==Business career==

===Mogees===

Zamborlin founded Mogees Limited in 2013 in [[London]], with [[IRCAM]] amongst the early investors in the company.

Mogees is a product that enables users to transform physical objects into musical instruments and games using a [[Piezoelectric_sensor|vibration sensor]] and a series of apps for [[smartphones]] and [[Desktop_computer|desktop]].

===HyperSurfaces===

In 2017 Zamborlin founded HyperSurfaces together with [[Computer_art|computational artist]] [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=OwW_posAAAAJ&hl=en Parag K Mital]

<ref name="pkm">[http://pkmital.com/home/ Parag K Mital's website]</ref>.

HyperSurfaces is a technology that converts any surface made of any material, shape and size into data-enabled interactive objects, employing a vibration sensor and proprietary [[AI]] algorithms running on a coin-sized [[chipset]]

}}</ref>.

The vibrations generated by people's interactions on the surface are converted into an electric signal by a [[Piezoelectric_sensor|piezoelectric sensor]] and analysed in [[realtime]] by the AI algorithms that run on the chipset.

Anytime the AI recognises in the vibration signal one of the events that have been predefined by the user beforehand, a corresponding notification message is sent in realtime.

The technology can be applied to multiple industry sectors, ranging from button-less [[Human–computer_interaction|human-computer interaction]] applications for automotive and [[Home_automation|smart home]] to the [[Internet_of_things|Internet of Things]]

Because the AI algorithms employed by HyperSurfaces run locally on a chipset, without the need to access cloud-based services, they are considered to be part of the field of [[Edge_computing|edge AI]].

Also, because the AI can be trained beforehand to recognise the events its users are interested in, HyperSurfaces algorithms belong to the field of [[Supervised_learning|supervised machine learning]].
