The world's largest real-time tracking 3D mapping projection

Hexogon Solution employed 66 Christie Boxer 4K30 projectors to turn Singapore's 51st National Day celebrations into the largest real-time tracking 3D mapping projection show to date.

The visual solutions of Christie offered spectacular effects to more than 55.000 attendees attending Singapore's 51st anniversary celebrations, that took place at the National Stadium, under the planning and execution of the mapping projection of Hexogon Solution Pte, Rental company and partner of this manufacturer.

For this act were installed 66 projectors 3DLP Christie Boxer 4K30 (More technical details in Digital AV Magazine) around the fourth level of Singapore's national stadium, in order to offer the largest 3D projection mapping show with real-time tracking so far made. These teams projected a barrage of dazzling visual effects onto the surfaces of two mobile structures., that intensified the magnitude of the celebrations.

This is what Adrian Goh points out, CEO of Hexogon Solution Group: "This is the first real-time tracking projection mapping on 3D objects to be done during Singapore's National Day parade.. Installed 40 Tracking cameras around the stadium, as well as 260 tracking beacons on the rock and in the floating city 3D to ensure that the system accurately tracked and mapped the visual effects provided to us by the committee over the entire surface of structures and moving objects.".

At last, This giant rock "was divided into eight pieces that moved in several directions," continues this director., while the floating city 3D (Composed of fifteen gigantic folding fabric modules, with a total size of 60 meters in diameter and 20 high) It rose from the stage to a height of 35 metre, coinciding with the end of the parade".

The biggest challenges the Hexogon Solution team faced were, according to Goh, Very limited time for calibration and alignment, as well as the unpredictable conditions of the enclosure. "At first we had to map over an empty space., I mean, without the real objects, And we didn't even have a week to do the actual mapping on the complex structures while they were installing them.. In addition, as there was wind, We had to deal with the random movements of the fabric structure as we executed and processed the content in real time on deformed and irregular surfaces.".

Thanks to the experience gained during participation in the previous Singapore National Day parade and sporting events held in Southeast Asia, resulting in a new Guinness World Record for the largest output of a projected image to date., the Hexogon Solution team successfully overcame these challenges and put on an exceptional show to celebrate the nation's anniversary.

"The Christie Boxer 4K30 projector is easy to operate and allows us to display the image without compromising the result.. Thanks to its powerful features (4K resolution, 30.000 Lumens, Omnidirectional capacity and small footprint), The placement of the equipment at various angles to cover the entire structure of the floating city was a real luxury", the CEO of Hexogon Solution.

On the other hand, The fact that the National Stadium is a sheltered environment "makes it a really advantageous location., for both equipment and workers, especially if we compare it with other outdoor environments such as the Marina Bay floating platform, that we used in the previous Singapore National Day parade", says Goh.

The result has been a fascinating parade in which more than 3.500 Artists on a huge stage (about the size of nine basketball courts), along with indoor fireworks; giant sets hanging from the ceiling and an exclusive section in which traditional songs of the country were interpreted.

For Han Kim, CEO of Christie Singapore, "The projection mapping shows planned and executed by Hexogon Solution have always been one of the most memorable moments of the National Day parade.. This year, Adrian Goh and his team have surpassed themselves by incorporating projection mapping with real-time tracking technology using our Boxer 4K30 projectors, And the results have been amazing. Undoubtedly, the impressive projections on the giant rock structures and the 3D floating city have made this year's parade the most memorable.".

For its part, Lin Yu, Vice President, Christie Asia Pacific, He pointed out that "as one of the most outstanding scenography rental companies in the region, Hexogon Solution continues to improve its skills and knowledge to deliver spectacular visual experiences that live on in our memories.. We are delighted that our Boxer 4K30 projectors have played such an important role in staging the largest projection mapping representation with real-time tracking at this year's Singapore National Day Parade.".
