Best Project Award
- AV Stumpfl – Stiegl Brauwelt Brew Cinema
The walk-in cinema is a multi-dimensional projection space featuring Panasonic and Hitachi projectors. The live action movie with a total projection area of 180 degrees with 3D animations was produced at cinema standard 5.5 K (Camera Red Epic). This achieved a resolution (5120 x 2560 pixels) that is six times higher than that of HDTV. The entire installation is controlled centrally using AV Stumpfl WINGS TOUCH and AVIO.
- Engage Production – Virtual Style Pod
Commissioned for The Galleria, on Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi, VSP incorporates the world’s first ‘accurate cloth simulation’. Visitors can click through a range of clothing while a 3D ‘virtual styling’ expert assists with fit and colour. Utilising a life-size screen mirror, augmented reality software overlays the user’s image with realistic 3D renders of clothing.

The cinema now features one of the largest LED displays in a public square on its facade – the 107sqm display replaces a paper poster board and is flanked by two 18sqm screens.
