Moment Factory Media Design & Software 360-degree projection mapping, interactive visuals, architectural lighting, and immersive sound across five virtual realms; permanently integrated seventeen high-resolution laser projectors into the landmarked interior.

Description

Produced in partnership with venue operator Cipriani, SuperReal transforms the 12,000-square-foot Great Hall of the former Cunard Building — a neo-Renaissance landmark with 30-foot vaulted ceilings — into a 45-minute, five-scene journey using 360-degree projection mapping, mirrored floors, interactive visuals that respond to visitor movement, and immersive sound. The installation's projection and lighting infrastructure was permanently built into the historic interior; the ticketed experience has run in recurring seasonal editions since its 2019 debut.
