A total of 66 Christie Boxer 4K30 3DLP projectors were installed around the fourth level of the stadium to claim the biggest real-time tracking 3D projection mapping show in the world for this National Day Parade (NDP) in Singapore. A slew of bright and vibrant visuals projected onto the surfaces of the two moving structures by the Boxer 4K30s greatly enhanced the scale and excitement of the celebrations. This marks the debut of Christie Boxer 4K30s at the National Stadium since the completion of this state-of-the-art sports facility in 2014
Adrian Goh, group managing director, Hexogon Solution, said, "This is the first real-time tracking projection mapping on 3D objects at the NDP. Forty tracking cameras around the entire stadium and 260 tracking beacons were installed onto the boulder and the 3D Sky City, to enable the system to accurately track and map the visuals provided by the committee onto all surface of the structures as the objects move.
"The giant boulder would eventually be split into eight pieces and travel in different directions, while the 3D Sky City - made up of 15 gigantic collapsible fabric structures with an overall size of 60 meters in diameter and 20 meters in height - would be hoisted from stage level to a height of 35 meters during the Parade's finale."
Commenting on the jubilant event, Han Kim, general manager, Christie Singapore, said, "The projection mapping performance planned and executed by Hexogon Solution has always been a major highlight of Singapore's NDP. This year, Adrian and his team had gone one step further by incorporating projection mapping with real-time tracking technology using our award-winning Boxer 4K30 projectors, and the results were astounding."
Lin Yu, Vice president, Christie Asia Pacific, added, "As one of the most prominent rental stagers in the region, Hexogon Solution is continually improving its capabilities and know-how to deliver spectacular and truly memorable visual experiences. I'm delighted that our Boxer 4K30 projectors had played an important role in the staging of the largest ever real-time tracking projection mapping performance at this year's National Day Parade."
