Salesforce Video Wall.

Salesforce approached Obscura with the opportunity to create imaginative media for the 107’ long LED video wall in the lobby of their flagship San Francisco office. Our creative teams worked closely together to envision and produce work that transforms a passageway into a mesmerizing hyperreal environment. From capturing California’s Redwood National Forest in stunning 12K resolution, to a designing a convincing CG waterwall and more – we held nothing back in striving to impart a sense of wonder to everyone that enters the building.

Microsoft: FoveAR See-Through Near-Eye Display with Projected Augmented Reality.

“Optically see-through (OST) augmented reality glasses can overlay spatially-registered computer-generated content onto the real world. However, current optical designs and weight considerations limit their diagonal field of view to less than 40 degrees, making it difficult to create a sense of immersion or give the viewer an overview of the augmented reality space. We combine OST glasses with a projection-based spatial augmented reality display to achieve a novel display hybrid, called FoveAR, capable of greater than 100 degrees field of view, view dependent graphics, extended brightness and color, as well as interesting combinations of public and personal data display. We contribute details of our prototype implementation and an analysis of the interactive design space that our system enables. We also contribute four prototype experiences showcasing the capabilities of FoveAR as well as preliminary user feedback providing insights for enhancing future FoveAR experiences.”

E Ink, HTC and Palladio to co-develop smart medication packaging labels.

E Ink announced a partnership with HTC Healthcare and the Palladio Group to develop E Ink smart medication packaging labels. The three companies will develop an IoT-based smart device and smartphone software that will improve medication adherence.



The E Ink label will display personalized content that can be pushed to the packaging label as a communication interface, delivering vital information to patients and creating a gateway to improve patient engagement.

This is E Ink's second such project with Palladio: in October 2015 E Ink collaborated with Palladio and developed an advanced packaging solution specifically for pharmaceuticals, called PhutureMed.

DEEP WEB - kinetic audiovisual installation and performance.

Deep Web is a monumental immersive audiovisual installation and live performance created by light artist Christopher Bauder and composer and musician Robert Henke. Presented in enormous pitch dark indoor spaces, Deep Web plunges the audience into a ballet of iridescent kinetic light and surround sound. The work was presented as a preview at CTM 2016 Festival Berlin and will be followed by its original presentation at the Festival of Lights Lyon in December 2016.

The generative, luminous architectural structure weaves 175 motorized spheres and 12 high power laser systems into a 25 meter wide and 10 meter high super-structure, bringing to life a luminous analogy to the nodes and connections of digital networks. Moving up and down, and choreographed and synchronized to an original multi-channel musical score by Robert Henke, the spheres are illuminated by blasts of colourful laser beams resulting in three-dimensional sculptural light drawings and arrangements in cavernous darkness.

The installation brings together decades of separate research and experimentation by two artists with unique visions and passions for sound and light, and by innovative companies working in these fields. High-end laser system manufacturer LaserAnimation Sollinger provided the technical expertise and development for this very specific spatial laser setup. The high precision motor winch systems with real time feedback and the main control software are provided by Design Studio WHITEvoid in collaboration with Kinetic Lights. This novel combination of computer controlled kinetic elements and laser systems allows for setting animated end points to normally infinite laser beams. DEEP WEB uses light as a tangible material to construct threedimensional vector drawings in thin air.

The work was originally commissioned by the Festival of Lights Lyon 2015, and developed in cooperation with local producer Tetro. Due to the festival’s cancellation after the tragic events in Paris, Berliners had the unique chance to attend an exclusive preview before the project will be presented in December 2016 in Lyon for the Festival of Lights 2016.

The Artists:

An artist and designer working in the fields of light and installation art, media design and scenography, Christopher Bauder focuses on the translation of bits and bytes into objects and environments, and vice versa. Space, object, sound, light and interaction are key elements of his work. In 2004 he founded the multidisciplinary art and design studio WHITEvoid, which specializes in interactivity, media, interior architecture, and electronic engineering.

Bauder has brought his installations and performances to art events and spaces around the world, including Centre Pompidou Paris, MUTEK Montreal, Festival of Lights Lyon, Luminale Frankfurt, The Jewish Museum Berlin and The National Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan. He is best known for his city-wide light art installation “Lichtgrenze”, created in 2014 together with his brother Marc, for the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and his large scale kinetic live shows ATOM and GRID. Both in cooperation with Robert Henke.

Alongside his numerous releases as Monolake, Robert Henke is also well known for the music, audiovisual installations and performances he has been creating under his own name since the early 90s. Due to his background in engineering and fascination with the beauty of technical objects, the development of his own instruments and algorithms has always been an integral part of his creative process. Henke also co-developed the omnipresent Ableton Live music software, which since its invention in 1999 has become the standard tool for electronic music production and completely redefined live performance practice.

His installations and performances have been presented at Tate Modern London, the Centre Pompidou Paris, PS-1 New York, MUDAM Luxembourg, MAK Vienna, the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin, and at countless festivals.

The senses at La Cité du Vin.

Opened in June 2016 in a truly iconic building, La Cité du Vin takes you on a journey through the worlds of wine and culture.



Love a glass of wine? If so – and even if not – La Cité du Vin in Bordeaux should be on your bucket list! Located in a truly iconic building in Bordeaux, this experience center takes you on an amazing journey through the worlds of wine and culture. We love it, and not just because it features 49 Barco F-series projectors and Medialon solutions (we’re proud about it, though) … Fly a helicopter or rather dine with historical figures? “We wanted La Cité du Vin to be a unique place with a focus on emotions, sensations and imagination,” explained museum director Philippe Massol. He has definitely succeeded in his plan. Fly over the world’s winemaking regions in a helicopter? Step on board a merchant ship? Sit down to a banquet in the company of historical figures? These are just three of the amazing experiences you can enjoy at La Cité du Vin.

49 Barco F-series projectors + Medialon solutions AV systems integrator VIDELIO-IEC identified Barco projectors as the ideal solution to ensure real, lifelike images in every set-up: “The Barco portfolio is so comprehensive that we found all the right solutions to meet the needs of the scenographer, as well as the strict technical requirements. For each installation, we selected the projector that best fits the needs of the application. In total, 49 Barco projectors are used.”

In addition, Barco company Medialon supports the technical team in supervising, controlling and scheduling the functions of all the AV equipment – around 500 devices in all – featured in the many exhibits, from one, central location.

Watch the video The result? “Visitors are absolutely in awe,” said Massol. Watch the video to see what they’re so excited about, read the full customer story and, why not, plan a trip to Bordeaux soon?
