Details
We developed and delivered 15 real-time interactive experiences for the DP World Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, with a focus on immersive storytelling and multi-user systems:
- Mobility Gallery: A large-format curved display networked with a multi-touch table composed of 12 synchronised 55″ screens. Designed for simultaneous multi-user engagement, with video content tightly synced across wall and table .surfaces—showcasing techniques used in shared-screen and hybrid input games.
- Flow Gallery: A three-storey immersive theatre with seating for hundreds, anchored by a 20-metre dynamic waterfall. The system featured choreographed water and video playback linked to custom presentations, showcasing the orchestration of real-time physical effects and screen content—comparable to in-game event sequencing.
- Digital Window: A live visual system that reflected real-world environmental data, including time-of-day lighting, weather, and flight info. The constantly evolving backdrop served as an ambient narrative layer—similar to dynamic background systems in games that react to real-time variables.
