Christie’s 50,000 lumen Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors are delivering an immersive experience for visitors and guests at Illuminarium at Wynn Palace Cotai, a luxury five-star hotel and resort, located in Macau’s city centre. The hotel is home to exclusive shopping, fine dining, and as of January 2024, is the home for the newest project from Illuminarium Experiences, a US company offering experiential entertainment in immersive theatres, called “Illuminariums”.
Working closely with Christie and solutions architects, Illuminarium and Wynn Palace selected 29 Christie Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors for the venue. The Griffyn 4K50-RGB is the smallest and lightest 50,000 lumen laser projector available. Christie says its pure laser illumination technology enables it to deliver richer, more highly saturated colours than laser phosphor projectors.
Previous Illuminarium locations have primarily been built to suit, but the new experience was unique as it was installed in a “very defined space”, according to Alan Greenberg, CEO, Illuminarium Experiences. “It provides a very expansive entertainment experience for guests at the Wynn Palace,” he said.
Since opening, Illuminarium has been entertaining visitors with its initial opening show, “SPACE: A Journey to the Moon and Beyond” and now “WILD: An Immersive Safari Experience”, an interactive and multi-sensory experience that takes guests to the wild savanna.
Greenberg added: “We were approached by the CEO of Wynn Resorts, and he really wanted to bring the finest immersive entertainment experience possible to Wynn Palace, which is their flagship property in Macau. We had a whole team, including Christie, Rockwell Group, Electrosonic, Holoplot, and Legends project management, come to Macau to look at the space. We developed a technology fit and then we were off and running on construction.”
The new experience builds on the Macau SAR Government’s diversified development strategy, a long-term plan to enrich the visitor experience through the development of non-gaming experiences. Conceptualised only a year prior to opening, it was a short runway from ideation to reality.
Christie Professional Services provides 24/7 service and support for the complete AV system in Illuminarium. Professional Services includes strategic locations worldwide and a network of customer service engineers, project managers, and training and service technicians.
Joseph Conover, director, live events/immersive experiences, Christie, said: “Illuminarium at Wynn Palace is nothing short of spectacular. It’s a true testament to the vision of Wynn Palace and Illuminarium to deliver a unique experience for guests and visitors to the resort.”
