The Rise of Immersive Experiences
Immersive experiences are becoming increasingly popular, captivating audiences with a marriage of vivid colours, striking images, and powerful soundtracks. This blend of art and technology is brought to life in the immersive rooms, or ‘Sala Immersiva’, the brainchild of Giuseppe Casciello, Art Director at Playartmultimedia.
“My inspiration is spurred by the necessary and continuous evolution of this wonderful art form. For the past five years, I have given myself the tough task of always innovating and creating new projects. I get a buzz from creating ‘wow!’ art forms.”
Choosing the Right Technology
To create these magnificent visual displays, the right technology is crucial. After assessing available projector options, Casciello selected a combination of ten projectors from Vivitek – the DU8395Z, DU9800Z, and DU9900Z. These projectors stood out for their performance, quality-price ratio, and excellent sales support.
The DU8395Z, designed for advanced projection tasks including mapping and edge blending, offers a constant light output of 15,000 lumens and a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, ensuring clear, crisp and bright projections. On the other hand, the Vivitek DU9800Z and DU9900Z are engineered for stability, ideal for 24/7 operation with minimal user intervention.
Creating the Perfect Display
Depending on the event, the number of projectors used can vary. Sometimes, Casciello uses up to 24 projectors connected to two super PCs. However, an average event typically requires anywhere between six to 14 projectors.
In addition to the projectors, MSI Titan Extreme Laptops optimised for large 8K resolution projects and Resolume Arena for mapping are used. HDMI fibre-optic cables and video signal processors distribute specific content to each of the large venue laser projectors.
Final Thoughts
The success of immersive experiences like Sala Immersiva underlines the importance of innovative thinking and the right technology. The constant evolution of art and technology, as demonstrated by Giuseppe Casciello’s vision and Vivitek’s projectors, is creating unique experiences that continue to captivate audiences.
The immersive rooms, brought to life by this wonderful fusion of art and IT, are not only enlivening events but also setting a benchmark for future artistic endeavours.
