Roberto Vitalini was born in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1971. A lateral thinker by nature (he is a media artist by profession) and a logical thinker by education, he enjoys envisioning futuristic products. Roberto gained an MBA from the University of St Gallen and he specialised in Media and Communication at Saint Mary’s College of California.
 

 
In 2006 he filed the patent “Instinctive Communication Channel for the Perception of Multivariate Data Changes” and the same year he founded BASHIBA.com to design and deliver Immersive Design Experiences. The flagship product, BASHIBA Panorama, allows organizations to display changes in their important data by way of a beautiful three dimensional seascape. Other applications have come from the Opera house where the system has been employed to create spectacular natural landscapes that react in real-time to input from data streams and/or controllers.

 
In March 2008 Roberto was granted the “Venture Leaders 2008″ award and in June 2008 he offered a Tech Talk at the Google Headquarters in California about Real-Time Data Metaphors.
 
Roberto Vitalini has been Video Set Designer for the opera L’Amour de loin (English National Opera, 2009), for Donka - A Letter to Chekhov (Compagnia Daniele Finzi Pasca, 2010) which has toured internationally and for the opera “Aida” (Mariinsky Theatre, 2011).

Before founding BASHIBA, Roberto led the Research and Prototyping Competence Centre within the Fantastic Corporation. There, he explored future media experiences and their enabling technologies, such as the real‐time integration of live sport events with broadband‐enabled gaming consoles.
