Bruno Zamborlin, PhD (born 1983 in Vicenza) is an Italian AI researcher and entrepreneur based in London, UK.
He is considered a pioneer in the field of converting physical objects into touch-sensitive, interactive surfaces using vibration sensors and Artificial Intelligence.
[1] [2] [3]


In 2013 he founded Mogees Limited, the London-Los Angeles based start-up whose products enable users to transform everyday objects into musical instruments and games using a vibration sensor and a mobile phone (100,000 units sold worldwide).
In 2017 he founded HyperSurfaces, a technology platform which 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 (Warp records).

Early life & education

Zamborlin was born in Vicenza, Italy. After attending a degree in Mathematics between University of Padua (IT) and 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 Sound Music Movement Interaction team.

Under the supervision of Frederic Bevilacqua, he started experimenting with the use of Artificial Intelligence and human movements. He contributed to the creation of Gesture Follower, a software used to analyse body movements of performers and dancers through 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 PhD between Goldsmiths, University of London and IRCAM - Centre Pompidou/Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris 6 in AI with the title 'Designing for Appropriation of Digital Music Technology'. The PhD focuses on the concept of Interactive Machine Learning [4] applied to digital musical instruments and performing arts. The jury panel included Reactable's inventor Sergi Jorda.

Business career

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 vibration sensor and a series of apps for smartphones and desktop. [5] [6] [7] [8]


After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in 2014 [9], Mogees reportedly sold 100,000 units and has been used by artists such as Rodrigo y Gabriela [10], Jean Michel Jarre [11] and Plaid [12].
