Project Description
dd: Outpost , a unique community lounge and event space built by Digital DUMBO in partnership with Bing. Designed by VOLVOX LABS [VVOX] , dd:OUTPOST is a completely immersive, dynamic work environment. It’s a space that companies can take advantage of by using new media technology to produce and curate high value events.
The space itself features:
• A groundbreaking audiovisual system that seamlessly merges with the architectural design
• 200″ projection screen that allows for engaging presentations and visual content as well as a direct connection between Windows 8, Xbox and Airstream operating systems
• A custom made touchscreen interface that allows clients to control lighting, AV content and Instagram + Twitter feeds in real-time
• Integrated technologies allow for the content to be presented simultaneously across all screens
•70 high-powered LED strips react to human presence, triggering patterns and surround sound effects using the Kinect sensor
• Projection mapped bar and presentation area creates a unique surface for showcasing design work, motion graphics, and the “back channel”
Custom build software allows visitors to upload their content to a folder in the Cloud which then is automatically wrapped around the interior walls making it very easy and simple to different branding aesthetics.
