Keeping 18 Projection Mapping Installations Alive for Six Months at EXPO 2020 Dubai
Challenge
A world expo cannot have a dark pavilion. Across six months of continuous operation, 18 projection mapping installations plus touch, motion, laser and PCB-controlled exhibits had to run daily under heavy crowds, ambient light drift, heat and an unforgiving press cycle.
Approach
- ▸ Engineered each installation with redundancy at the media-server and network layer
- ▸ Standardised alignment, calibration and content-deployment procedures across all 18 sites
- ▸ Integrated exhibit traffic onto segmented event networks with monitoring on every endpoint
- ▸ Ran structured day-two operations: nightly checks, spares rotation, incident playbooks
Results
- 18 projection mapping installations delivered and sustained across the Expo duration
- Interactive touch, motion, laser and PCB experiences operating daily for global visitors
- Operations model later reused for GITEX, Dubai Airshow and ATM deployments
