USA - Part of the new expansion of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, FL is the WonderWall, a $2 million interactive water fountain. Fuelling the fountain with content are eight High End Systems Axon media servers. Axon is a rack-mount unit featuring the DL.2 graphics engine, allowing users to feed media content to their own output device.

Luxious Lighting's Andrew Wilder of Los Angeles programmed the display using a Wholehog 3 and Hog 3PC. "I used all stock library content that comes with Axon, except for the Hard Rock Seminole logo," Wilder explains. "I also combined it with a satellite music video feed that runs in the casino. The Axons are housed in a small room, behind the fountain, set up in two rows of four, with projectors. I've mapped the Axon content into a sphere and they're rear-projecting."

The Wholehog 3 not only controls the content on the fountain but also the rate at which the fountain flows. Electrosonic designed and installed the system.
