Barco and projectiondesign will be showcasing a new combined projection product at the forthcoming European Attractions Expo 2013.

The Holovis MotionDome is an immersive and interactive platform designed for gaming or dark ride transformative experiences in 2D or 3D. The solution is scalable from small to large full dome theatres, completed with ride motion technology.

Four F35 AS3D active stereoscopic 3D DLP projectors are edge blended on the Holovis MotionDome curved screen display, positioned above the participant’s eye line to creating an immersive experience, integrated with Holovis motion seat technology and interactive gaming devices.

Stuart Hetherington, CEO at Holovis says: “We are delighted to be bringing our extensive innovation-led expertise in high-end immersive and interactive experience design to EAS with our MotionDome technology. We are already working with a range of first to market clients including FECs, Property Asset Developers and major Theme Park operators on deploying these high impact, cost effective visitor attractions."

Immersive specialist Igloo Vision was commissioned by United Arab Emirates to create a 360-degree immersive installation for the La Biennale di Venezia 2013, 53rd annual art exhibition that incorporates F22 projectors from projectiondesign®. Mounted in the Sale d’Armi at the New National Pavilion, Mohammed Kazem’s realization called ‘Directions 2005/2013’ makes a brilliant contribution to ‘Walking on Water’.

“Showing content of seascapes and replicating what it would be like to be lost at sea, the immersive installation uses fifteen F22 projectors at WUXGA resolution with zoom lenses and installed in portrait mode. The projectors are edge blended and integrated in a floor to ceiling 360° fully immersive screen using tailor made software,” said Pippa Halliday, sales director at Igloo.
