Crea e implementa un chiosco AI per la Formula E con Gemini Omni e Cloud Run

1. Introduzione

Cosa creerai

Il chiosco AI di Formula E è un'esperienza interattiva basata sulla piattaforma Gemini e sull'API Google GenAI Interactions. Gli utenti si scattano una foto, scelgono uno scenario di Formula E (ad esempio, festeggiare sul podio o partire dalla corsia dei box) e lasciano che Gemini li trasformi in un pilota di Formula E accanto a un'auto da corsa elettrica Gen4.

Focus sull'apprendimento interattivo

In questo codelab, scriverai la logica di AI generativa di base utilizzando l'API Interactions sulla piattaforma Gemini (enterprise=True). Completerai le lacune del codice chiave per:

  1. Inizializzazione del client: inizializzazione di genai.Client(enterprise=True) per la piattaforma Gemini.
  2. Gemini 3.8 Flash: genera un prompt dettagliato dalla foto dell'utente utilizzando l'input multimodale basato su dizionario ([{"type": "text", ...}, {"type": "image", ...}]) e generation_config={"thinking_level": "high", "temperature": 0.2}.
  3. Nano Banana 2/2.1 (gemini-3.1-flash-image or gemini-nano-banana-2.1): creazione di avatar di guida da immagine a immagine e di livree Gen4 utilizzando il prompt espanso.
  4. Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash (gemini-omni-1.1-flash-preview): generazione di video asincrona utilizzando background=True e il polling client.interactions.get().

Non preoccuparti di rimanere bloccato Ogni esercizio di programmazione include un blocco 💡 Soluzione e spiegazione. Se riscontri problemi, scorri per visualizzare il codice completo e i dettagli dei parametri.

I passaggi di configurazione non relativi all'AI (scaffolding della shell, configurazioni Docker e deployment di Cloud Run) rimangono comandi di copia e incolla semplificati, in modo che tu possa concentrarti sulla padronanza dell'API Interactions.

2. 🛠️ Configurazione dell'ambiente e scaffolding del progetto

Creerai la directory dell'area di lavoro e i file di progetto direttamente in Cloud Shell utilizzando i comandi dell'interfaccia a riga di comando modulare.

1. Apri Cloud Shell e crea la directory del progetto

👉 Apri l'editor di Cloud Shell nel browser.

👉💻 Crea la struttura del workspace:

mkdir -p ~/fe-genmedia-kiosk/{backend/app/{routers,services,prompts},frontend/{public/fonts,src},scripts}
cd ~/fe-genmedia-kiosk

2. Abilita le API Google Cloud richieste

👉💻 Imposta l'ID progetto attuale e abilita i servizi richiesti:

export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project)
echo "Using Project ID: $PROJECT_ID"

gcloud services enable \
    run.googleapis.com \
    cloudbuild.googleapis.com \
    aiplatform.googleapis.com \
    storage.googleapis.com \
    artifactregistry.googleapis.com \
    compute.googleapis.com

3. Crea un service account e configura le autorizzazioni IAM

Nota: se utilizzi un account GCP dell'organizzazione e non puoi generare un service account, avrai invece un service account Compute Engine predefinito con autorizzazioni preconfigurate.

👉💻 Esegui i comandi di configurazione per il service account di runtime e Cloud Build:

# 1. Configure Cloud Build permissions for default Compute Service Account
# (Cloud Run source deployments use Cloud Build and the default Compute Engine SA)
export PROJECT_NUMBER=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT_ID --format="value(projectNumber)")

for role in roles/storage.admin roles/logging.logWriter roles/artifactregistry.writer; do
  gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
    --member="serviceAccount:${PROJECT_NUMBER}-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com" \
    --role="$role"
done

# 2. Create Cloud Storage Bucket
export BUCKET_NAME="fe-genmedia-kiosk-${PROJECT_ID}"
gcloud storage buckets create gs://${BUCKET_NAME} --location=us-central1

# 3. Configure CORS for web browser uploads
cat << 'EOF' > cors.json
[
  {
    "origin": ["*"],
    "method": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", "HEAD"],
    "responseHeader": ["*"],
    "maxAgeSeconds": 3600
  }
]
EOF
gcloud storage buckets update gs://${BUCKET_NAME} --cors-file=cors.json

4. Scarica gli asset del brand Formula E

👉💻 Recupera gli asset in co-branding nella tua cartella pubblica:

cd ~/fe-genmedia-kiosk/frontend/public

3.7 UI del chiosco interattivo (frontend/src/App.tsx)

👉💻 Crea l'interfaccia interattiva principale del kiosk creando App.tsx e copiando e incollando il codice React:

3.8 Configurazione del server Nginx (frontend/nginx.conf)

👉💻 Crea la configurazione del server web Nginx per il routing dell'applicazione a pagina singola:

cat << 'EOF' > frontend/nginx.conf
server {
    listen 8080;
    location / {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
        index index.html;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}
EOF

3.9 Configurazione della build del container di frontend (frontend/Dockerfile e frontend/.dockerignore)

👉💻 Crea .dockerignore e la produzione multifase Dockerfile:

cat << 'EOF' > frontend/.dockerignore
node_modules
dist
.git
EOF
touch frontend/Dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json tsconfig.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from=builder /app/dist /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
EXPOSE 8080

5. 🚀 Deployment in Cloud Run

1. Crea ed esegui il deployment del container di backend

👉💻 Esegui il deployment del server di backend su Cloud Run:

cd ~/fe-genmedia-kiosk/backend

gcloud run deploy fe-kiosk-backend \
  --source . \
  --region us-central1 \
  --allow-unauthenticated \
  --port 8080

2. Crea ed esegui il deployment del container di frontend

Una volta completato il backend, acquisisci il suo URL, scrivilo direttamente in .env.production ed esegui il deployment del frontend

cd ~/fe-genmedia-kiosk/frontend

# 1. Fetch Backend URL
export BACKEND_URL=$(gcloud run services describe fe-kiosk-backend \
  --region us-central1 \
  --format="value(status.url)")

echo "Configuring frontend with Backend URL: $BACKEND_URL"

# 2. Write it into the Vite production environment file
echo "VITE_API_BASE=${BACKEND_URL}" > .env.production

# 3. Deploy frontend (Vite will read .env.production during build)
gcloud run deploy fe-kiosk-frontend \
  --source . \
  --region us-central1 \
  --allow-unauthenticated \
  --port 8080

6. 🏁 Test e utilizzo del kiosk AI di Formula E

  1. Apri $FRONTEND_URL in Google Chrome.
  2. Carica un selfie o un ritratto.
  3. Seleziona lo scenario di gara (Podium Winner Celebration o Pit Lane Gen4 Launch).
  4. Fai clic su AVVIA PIPELINE GENERATIVA.
  5. Osserva i progressi in tempo reale in tutte e tre le fasi dell'AI:
    • Gemini 3.8 Flash: generazione di prompt per i driver.
    • Nano Banana 2: rendering di avatar personalizzati di auto e tute da corsa Gen4.
    • Gemini Omni Flash: generazione di video HD di 8 secondi a 60 fps.
  6. Riproduci il video generativo finale.

7. 🎉 Conclusion & Clean-up

Che cosa hai imparato

✅ Piattaforma Gemini e API Interactions: inizializzazione di genai.Client(enterprise=True) e chiamata di client.interactions.create().

✅ Schema dei dati multimodali dell'API Interactions: utilizzo di list-of-dicts input e del parametro dict generation_config.

✅ Pipeline di AI multimodale:
