Client

If you’ve got money and no fear of heights, Virgin Galactic could make an astronaut out of you! Established in 2004 by adventurist and Virgin Group owner/founder Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic aspires to be the first commercial “spaceline,” propelling future passengers to heights of 360,000 ft. and into the outer limits of the Earth’s atmosphere. Tickets for the zero-gravity journey will cost passengers about $250,000. Virgin Galactic plans to establish its human spaceflight headquarters and operate its flights from Spaceport America, the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport, which is located on a 27 square mile area in the southern part of the New Mexico.

Challenge

Biggest challenges were:

  1. Find the best compromise: Dimensions / resolution / Pitch / budget
  2. Having a floor completely flush, neat and levelled so that we could install the LED digital floor completely flush with the rest of the floor tiles
  3. Having enough circuitry to run the floor safely
  4. Creating content that fit both the customer’s branding and the design brief

Impact

Interactive LED floors have become quite popular over the last few years. it has the potential to send powerful messages in a very unique and distinct way that would enhance just about any brand.

In essence, it gives a breath of fresh air to advertising and promotion efforts which establish corporate identity from an entirely different perspective.

The feedback from the customers so far has been incredibly positive.
