OdySea Aquarium equipped with Christie 1DLP projectors and Pandoras Box software and servers

Christie’s HS Series laser projectors, Mystique software, and Pandoras Box software and servers are part of a new lobby experience at Scottsdale, Arizona’s OdySea Aquarium, a multi-level facility offering immersive, educational, and entertaining experiences for guests of all ages. As one of the ten largest aquariums in the U.S., OdySea is home to more than 6,000 animals, 300 species, and 70 exhibits.

Now, guests to the aquarium begin their underwater journey as they enter OdySea’s lobby space. The new, immersive, 360-degree projection mapping experience transforms the lobby with marine life and ocean sounds. Malvern Entertainment created six animated sequences that transport guests to the heart of the ocean, which are projection mapped onto the 23-foot walls of the oval-shaped lobby.

OdySea selected twelve Christie HS Series laser projectors, Pandoras Box software and servers, and Mystique, an automated camera-based alignment and recalibration solution, to create the experience. The 3D workspace feature in Pandoras Box is used in conjunction with Mystique to calculate the position of the projectors in the room and mask content from areas including the escalator, doors, and massive Aqua Globe fish tanks that are suspended from the lobby’s ceiling. Beyond the lobby, a 16 x 9-foot Christie 2.5 mm pixel pitch LED video wall with full HD resolution delivers ocean-themed visuals in the aquarium’s café.

The project was integrated by CCS Presentation Systems. In addition to projection mapping around the nine Aqua Globes, each filled with live fish, CCS worked closely with The Power Group, which was brought onboard to manage the electrical needs for the project, including a power upgrade.
