Polymedia breaks new ground with Kazan project

AV expert Polymedia recently joined forces with partner United 3D Labs and AV Stumpfl CIS to develop an integrated audiovisual system to support the ‘City Panorama’ exhibition and entertainment complex in Kazan, Russia.

Opened earlier this year, the panoramic exhibit uses a virtual fly-over that allows visitors to see a birds-eye view of Kazan and all of its modern architecture. 

Video content comprises over 250 panoramic images taken with an ‘Octocopter’ using a high-resolution camera at different viewpoints and angles.

Visitors can touch the curved screen to view and zoom in on certain areas of interest across the city, as well as learn more about the history of Kazan.

Elena Novikova, chief executive at Polymedia, comments: “The giant panoramic projection screen gives a feeling of complete immersiveness and provides the Panorama visitors with an unforgettable experience. That is why this installation is so popular not only among children but also among adults.

“Only the quality of AV Stumpfl’s screen could give visitors that unique opportunity of diving into and flying under the sky.”

Hans Stucken, global marketing manager, also spoke highly of the project: “It’s always terrific to see our screens being used in new and creative ways, and panoramic displays don’t get more exciting than this, 

“It’s a simple concept, brilliantly executed by the excellent companies involved and is the perfect showcase for the solid frame construction and flexible projection surface as well as accuracy and reliability that our technology offers.”
