JAG’S FIRST SUV DISPLAYED INTERACTIVELY AT VIVID SYDNEY
3 June 2016
Jaguar’s contribution to Vivid Sydney 2016 will be celebrated at Martin Place with an immersive projection mapping and LED installation to debut the car manufacturer’s first-ever SUV, the F-PACE.
Technical Direction Company is bringing to life the ideas of creative communications agency, Spark44 Sydney and multimedia design and animation by Spinifex Group. TDC mapped the Jaguar F-PACE SUV in video projection that playfully highlights, deconstructs, rotates, recontextualises and generally manipulates the Jaguar SUV’s geometry.
The audience is involved in initiating the showcase by pressing a large ‘start’ button, which brings the multimedia experience to life. The vehicle is showcased on an angled podium against a diamond-shaped LED video wall. Both technologies work together to create an 11m x 8m canvas with the illusion of depth and immersive animation.
“The display has full automation, monitoring and interactivity, Spinifex used Cinema4D and 3D Studio Max to create the amazing visual content,” added Cyril De Baecque, managing director at Spinifex Group.
The project is unique in its combination of technology within a public place as Anthony Pellizzari, technical project manager at TDC elaborates: “This is a first for an audience to experience this type of technology in a outdoor public space. They can interact to fully become part of the experience. Gauging the public reaction so far, the use of technology and creative behind it seems to really appeal to all ages.
“This project gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our technical skills in mapping geometric objects. The added dimension of surrounding the car with LED really adds depth of field, and complete automation really lets us stretch our technical skills. We are really happy with the results.”
The Art of Performance projection installation will feature in Martin Place, Sydney, each night of the festival until 18 June.
