Immersive yoga experience in Switzerland powered by Christie projection

Casa Boost, a wellness studio in Geneva, Switzerland, is transforming yoga into an immersive experience using Christie Captiva DWU500S ultra-short throw laser projectors. The installation, carried out by Moonlight Drive in partnership with The Good Brand, turns a wall into a dynamic visual canvas that enhances meditation and movement sessions with vivid projections of landscapes, galaxies, and flowing textures.

Casa Boost is a space where light, sound, and movement converge to inspire physical and mental transformation. To elevate this concept, the studio wanted to break away from traditional yoga class formats and create a space where projection would support the emotional journey of each session.

The narrow, elongated room with minimal projection distance and architectural obstacles posed a challenge, though. “The only way to fully cover the projection area without compromising on focus or brightness was with Christie Captiva”, says Luis Guadalajara, Director at Moonlight Drive. “Their ultra-short throw capability was key in avoiding shadows during classes, even when the room is full.”

Two Captiva DWU500S projectors, featuring 1DLP laser technology and WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200), were installed side by side to create a seamless blend over a 9-meter-wide by 2.2-meter-high (30-foot-wide by 7-feet-high) wall, which serves as the projection surface. Painted in a neutral gray tone to maximize color vibrancy, the wall displays looped video content tailored to each class, from tranquil natural scenes to animated cosmic journeys.

The Captiva projectors are equipped with ultra-short throw lenses (0.25:1) and offer 5000 lumens of brightness. Their laser illumination system provides up to 20,000 hours of operation with minimal maintenance, while built-in edge blending and warping capabilities help overcome structural challenges in the room. The immersive visuals, delivered in 3840 x 1200 resolution, blend with the session’s rhythm.

“Everything was planned remotely, based on measurements and 3D simulations”, says Guadalajara. “We arrived with everything ready and executed in one day.” The Christie Captiva projectors were supplied by Christie partner Charmex, and the project was initiated with help from The Good Brand, which connected Casa Boost with Moonlight Drive. The integration included not only the projection system, but also a content server with two outputs, ambient audio, and automated scheduling aligned with class routines.
