Christie 1DLP projectors recently played a strategic role at Sensorium, the stand designed by SIA Interactive for Argentina's Ministry of Tourism at Tecnópolis in Buenos Aires, Latin America's biggest exhibition of science, technology, industry and art, according to a company announcement.
The star attraction at Sensorium was a 4D projection dome measuring 9 meters across and equipped with six Christie 1DLP DHD800 projectors. A 10-minute film with images of different tourist destinations and World Heritage Sites located in Argentina was screened inside the dome in 360-degrees, making it the first projection of its kind in the country, according to Christie.
"Because Tecnópolis is open to the public, day-in day-out, for four months a year, we needed 100 percent reliable equipment that would operate smoothly and require minimum maintenance," SIA Interactive CEO Adrian Simonovich said in the announcement.
The movie inside the dome was filmed with a Point Grey Ladybug camera before going through a complex postproduction process that took over six months to adapt it to the specifications of a 360-degree dome, Christie said.
The film was reproduced using a Delta Media Server from 7th Sense, coupled with Digi-Park software developed by SIA Interactive and conceived especially for digital amusement parks.
"The truth is that audiences were completely wowed by the overall quality of the dome," Simonovich said. "The image of the projectors was crystal clear. The end result was a happy public with over 240,000 satisfied viewers."
Sensorium also included other experiences developed by SIA Interactive including interactive tables with games, virtual reality stations, projected hemispheres that detect movement, holograms and digital fingerprint readers.
