The installation was configured as two banks of two projectors, Separate 30 meters in the hallway. Each Pico server was integrated locally into the projectors, with a network cable that connected each of the server banks for synchronization.

As Fergus Mc Auliffe recalls, iCrag Communications Manager, "produce Inception Horizon allowed us to explore our science in a highly sensory way. The acoustics of the building were perfect to mimic a cavernous underground landscape, and the richness of choral singing was emphasized with the stunning visualizations projected onto the walls of the building by the 7thSense team.. A real feast for the senses".

7thSense Pico Media Server is a compact system, especially suitable for application in wall displays, mobile and small-scale installations, as an alternative to large centralized servers, as it can be mounted locally without the need for extensive wiring or rack space.
