Christie, the global visual and audio technology company, has announced that its 50,000-lumen Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors have been used to create an immersive experience for Illuminarium at Wynn Palace Cotai, Macau.
Wynn Palace Cotai is a five-star hotel and resort in Macau’s city centre. It features luxurious retail and dining experiences and launched the new Illuminarium location in January.
This new experience contributes to the Macau SAR Government’s diversified development strategy, a long-term plan which aims to improve the visitor experience by developing non-gaming experiences. Illuminarium engages visitors of all ages with advanced visual, audio, and haptic technologies.
Joseph Conover, director, of live events / immersive experiences, Christie, says: “Illuminarium at Wynn Palace is nothing short of spectacular. It’s a true testament to the vision of Wynn Palace and Illuminarium to deliver a unique experience for guests and visitors to the resort. We’re grateful to have been given this opportunity to work with a talented group of people on this world-class project.”
Exceptional immersive experience
It took just a year to take the project from concept to launch.
Alan Greenberg, CEO, Illuminarium Experiences, says: “We were approached by the CEO of Wynn Resorts, and he really wanted to bring the finest immersive entertainment experience possible to Wynn Palace, which is their flagship property in Macau.
“We had a whole team, including Christie, Rockwell Group, Electrosonic, Holoplot, and Legends project management, come to Macau to look at the space. We developed a technology fit and then we were off and running on construction.”
The AV technology was selected early in the planning process. Greenberg adds: “Wynn was looking for the best possible technology solution.”
Wynn Palace and Illuminarium collaborated closely with Conover and solutions architects from Christie to select 29 Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors for the project.
The Griffyn 4K50-RGB is the most compact and lightest 50,000-lumen laser projector on the market. Its pure laser illumination delivers richer and more vibrant colours than laser phosphor projectors, providing remarkable experiences in large-venue applications.
Other Illuminarium locations have been custom-built, and so this project presented a unique challenge.
“We had a very defined space that we had to deal with – we’re inside a major resort,” Greenberg explains. “It provides a very expansive entertainment experience for guests at the Wynn Palace.”
Illuminarium has captivated visitors since its launch, first with SPACE: A Journey to the Moon and Beyond, and now showing WILD: An Immersive Safari Experience. Christie Professional Services provides 24-hour service and support for Illuminarium’s entire AV system to guarantee an exceptional experience.
Professional Services can quickly provide expertise, parts, and replacements thanks to key locations worldwide and a network of customer support engineers, project managers, and training and service specialists.
Greenberg concludes: “Illuminarium at Wynn Palace combines a high-quality environment with AV technology. It involved quick timelines, and new content – it was a big opportunity for Illuminarium and our technology partners. We’re very proud to have been chosen by Wynn Resorts to bring Illuminarium to Macau.”
Last month, Christie revealed that its Pandoras Box Software and Widget Designer have been used to power the visuals for the Wonderland Science Fiction Exploration Hall at the ZGC Science Fiction Industry Innovation Center, Beijing.
