360-degree LED screen installed on Photographic to visualize famine in Africa
Adapt produced and delivered a 360-degree LED screen for the exhibition "What's on the plate – what children eat" at Fotografiska in Stockholm.
The exhibition, which was a co-production between Aftonbladet, Fotografiska and Rädda Barnen, wanted to highlight the famine and the children's situation in Africa. The aim of the exhibition was to be able to move visitors to another world by showing 360-degree documentaries.
The difficulty with using standard 360-degree headsets, for example, is that only you who wear them can see the material. Which means that you cannot simultaneously react and communicate with your surroundings. Adapt was therefore commissioned by Fotografiska to develop a 360-degree high-resolution display solution to be able to create a room that guests could enter – where, while watching the films, you could also talk to each other.
Since the space at Fotografiska was limited and visitors would be very close to the screen, ordinary projectors could not be used. We therefore developed a 360-degree LED screen that was built up with our high-resolution beMatrix LED screen 3.1 mm. Through custom-made parts we created a round room that was barely 5 m in diameter and 4 m high. The room was completely seamless and 360 videos could be played around the entire screen. Even through the opening where you go in. Playback of the 360 movies was done with a WatchOut WatchMax media server.
