UAE digital display specialist Pixcom Technologies has provided a curved LED entrance display and LED tunnel for the Dubai Mall VR park opened by Emaar Entertainment.

A VR theme park has opened at a shopping centre in Dubai, featuring a curved LED entrance display and an immersive LED tunnel from UAE digital display specialist Pixcom. A first-of-its-kind attraction for the Middle East, the 7,000 sqm Dubai Mall VR Park has been opened by Emaar Entertainment.

Set across two levels of the Dubai mall and focusing on the concept of Shared Escapism, the attractions offer a multi-player experience that allows visitors to interact with one another and share the experience with family and friends. The attraction is designed to ‘Challenge Reality’, blurring the lines between perception and reality through unforgettable and mind-blowing experiences.

The entrance LED display showcases Dubai downtown buildings through day and night while the LED tunnel leads visitors to 75,000 sq ft of park space. The space combines augmented reality, virtual reality and experiential attractions and game-changing experiences, spanning wholly immersive rides and interactive video games – including an indoor rollercoaster.

“Pixcom has successfully revolutionised the digital display landscape in Dubai and once again we are thrilled to be part of the VR Park by Emaar Entertainment where we will welcome visitors all over the world with our state-of-art curved LED display innovation,” said Shihas Kizhisseri, CEO of Pixcom Technologies.

Wanted !

We now have made the world where he could hide a very, very small place,” said Edward Hanko, the FBI special agent in charge of its Philadelphia office.

Remarkable for its staying power, the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted Fugitives” list remains relevant and effective because it morphed into whatever media can reach the next tipster. The multi-media goal is to empower the public to “make the world smaller” for those on the run.

Railwave. Light & Sound @ Chartres en Lumières.

Railwave is a site-specific installation, held during the 15th fête de la lumière in Chartres, France. A light and sound intervention on the "Marché aux légumes", an art nouveau iron structure which is still used as a weekly food market. This architectural space is intervened with LED profiles which augment the perception of the structure, and with a multichannel audio setup which spatialices sound in a realistic manner.

Railwave presents an audiovisual metaphor of a train travel. Moving the audience from departure station until the final destination, light and multichannel sound is used to re-create a set of different worlds. In this futuristic trip through abstract landscapes, auditory and visual perspective effects make the audience travel without moving.

The world’s largest mobile LED screen

Smart AV has become the exclusive UK distributor of the world’s largest mobile screen from HD LEDShine.

The mobile LED screen aperture measures 144 square metres, has a 360-degree rotation for wider viewing and can be set up in an hour for outdoor events. The LED screen is 16 metres wide and 9 metres high, with nearly 4K resolution across its more than 6 million pixels. The screen also offers perfect contrast and a clean base (without a truck underneath)

Until the HD LEDShine mobile screen came to market, the largest screen (without losing the 16:9 configuration) was 100m² and had a huge truck underneath.

Belgium-based company HD LEDShine is to launch the screen internationally at Pro Light + Sound in Frankfurt on 10 April.

“We are excited to work with HD LEDShine as the exclusive UK partner, to bring this world-record screen to our clients,” said Darren Poultney, CEO of Smart AV. “The screen is a game changer as it will open up LED as a roll-in, roll-out LED solution with 4K resolution for events. Our mission at Smart AV is to continue to deliver the latest technology at the highest quality and this solution embodies all of those key values.”

Tony Winter, CEO of HD LEDShine, said: “Our company tries to push the boundaries of the impossible on a daily basis. Until now, we were told 120m² was the absolute limit or the screen couldn’t be transported properly any more, but we were able to create a larger solution that still retains high quality.”

Following the launch at Pro Light + Sound a second event will also allow audiences to view the screen at the HD LEDShine headquarters in Belgium on 19 April.

Retail AR App Has Wine Bottles Talking To You.

This is a really interesting use of augmented reality in a retail setting – wine bottles that talk to you and relate a story about the brand. In this case, it is for the Aussie wine brand 19 Crimes (hmmm, pretty sure I have a bottle of that aging downstairs). Point app-enabled smartphone screen at the face on the label, and it starts talking. I don’t think a whole pile of wine products have faces on them, but certainly there’s a healthy number of consumer products out there with animated people or animal characters.

Panoramic Film at Frank­furt Air­port.

In­for­ma­tion and video art are com­bined to a cin­e­matic in­stal­la­tion at Gate B at Frank­furt Air­port, of­fer­ing a spa­tial and vi­sual ex­pe­ri­ence to the pas­sen­gers. A 60-minute film was cre­ated by ART+COM Stu­dios es­pe­cially for the 21m wide and curved LED in­stal­la­tion.

The film com­pu­ta­tion­ally in­ter­weaves mov­ing im­ages recorded at seven re­mote des­ti­na­tions which are ap­proached from Gate B with im­ages shot at the air­port. These re­veal the com­plex­ity of every­day op­er­a­tions at the air­port. The videos were recorded with a spe­cial cam­era sys­tem de­vel­oped by us.

The 30-second video shows excepts of the 1-hour film.
