“The unique nature of this particular rig structure required several engineering revisions to support the 100-foot-wide-stage,” noted Joe Russo, director of technology. “Working with truss and rigging design engineers, the proper system was developed to accommodate the massive frame needed to support the holographic screen.”

To create the effect, AV Concepts produced an on-site high-definition video shoot with VIP executives who were filmed and converted into holograms for a live, on-stage interaction with the CEO during his presentation.
President of AV Concepts, Nick Smith stated, “This record breaking installation, speaks volumes to what AV Concepts delivers every day, and that’s to be the leader in implementing the most innovative technology, while also providing our clients with the best quality of service. Our ability to provide cutting edge technology and solutions help our clients better connect with their respective audience, creating memorable experiences.”
AV Concepts used 14 Christie HD18 projectors controlled by four Christie Vista Spyder systems. AV Concepts also used its new 4-camera high definition camera package with two additional robotic cameras for specialty pick up shots.
AV Concepts’ San Diego office houses a demo theater to support Musion 3D holographic consultation, development, and live demonstrations, in addition to virtual 3D Scenery and projection mapping applications.
