Working with Dynamic Motion, Protec delivered expert video design services and technology – including BlackTrax real-time motion tracking – at the grand opening ceremony of World Air Games 2015.
Taking centre stage at the World Air Games, which took place at the beachside coastal location of Sky Dive Dubai, UAE, in late 2015, a raised inflatable 6m-wide spherical projection surface was suspended 30m above stage alongside aerial performers suspended on cable lines.
Protec placed 15 BlackTrax stringers and five BlackTrax cameras to track the sphere’s movement ensuring that video was perfectly aligned. BlackTrax streamed positional information via the high-speed protocol (RTTrPM) to d3 Technologies 4×4 pro servers, which visualised and handled the 3D geometry in real-time throughout the ceremony.
“The coastal wind did play its part in blowing the screen slightly during the ceremony, but with the live tracking in place Protec relished the challenge to deliver some impressive live projection mapping with incredibly accurate and spectacular results,” explained Edward Andradé, business development and production at Protec.
“The show was a resounding success with some amazing audience reactions.”
