A holographic partner wall for IBM’s Experience Centre in Bangalore

Summary

IBM asked us to present its technology partners at its Experience Centre in Bangalore. We designed and installed a two-fan holographic wall that shows IBM’s key partner logos in 3D, appearing to float in mid-air.

The wall has become a centrepiece of the Experience Centre and a talking point for the clients, partners and stakeholders who visit.

The brief: partner logos that do more than sit on a screen

IBM wanted to move beyond static displays and ordinary digital screens. The partner logos needed to look innovative and fit IBM’s identity as a global technology company.

The installation also had to blend in with the existing interiors, lighting and feel of the Experience Centre.

What we built

A two-fan holographic wall. It uses persistence-of-vision (POV) LED fans: blades spin at high speed and display high-resolution content that seems to hover in the air, with no screen or glass.

• Two holographic fans side by side on a dedicated wall, giving one wide display area for the partner logos
• IBM’s key partner logos rendered in 3D
• A wall mount and surrounding structure custom-fabricated to match the room
• No bulky hardware or visible wiring, so the set-up suits the existing décor, lighting and theme

How it works day to day

The wall runs as a permanent feature of the Experience Centre. Visitors walking through see IBM’s partners presented as floating 3D logos, and the content is managed from a touchscreen.

Results

• The holographic wall is now a centrepiece of the IBM Experience Centre.
• It draws attention and starts conversations with visiting clients, partners and stakeholders.
• IBM’s partners get a premium, memorable showcase.
