EXPO 2017 ASTANAKorea

Smart Energy Starts from a Seed in Korea

Boasting an exhibition area of 1,804 m², Korea’s pavilion was among the largest at Expo 2017 Astana. The venue provided ample space for its “Future Energy, Smart Life” concept to unfold. Augmented reality and cutting-edge animation guided visitors on the journey of an “energy seed” that linked past, present, and future technologies while celebrating a fusion of traditional and modern culture.

Demonstrating the flexibility of Panasonic rear-projection technology, ET-D75LE95 ultra-short-throw lenses paired with PT-DZ110X 3-Chip DLP™ units lit up the pavilion entranceway with single-screen images projected onto three tall doors. Inside the pavilion’s dedicated theater, four PT-DZ870 1-Chip DLP™ projectors, each with 8,500 lumens at WUXGA, aimed from concealed in-wall positions onto a specialized slit-ribbon screen. Live performers moved in and out of the screen with motion-tracking augmenting background images for a surreal entertainment experience. At the intersection of art and technology, Panasonic again makes the impossible possible.
