Christie Delivers Cutting-Edge Visuals at G8/G20 World Summit International Media Centre
posted:
In collaboration with Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT) and Lord Cultural Resources of Toronto, who was selected to develop, design and implement the Canadian Pavilion, Christie brings cutting edge projectors to promote Canadian tourism and show 2010 FIFA World Cup™ matches in High Definition on 30’ and 16’ screens. A virtual football challenge, projected onto a 10’ screen, will also attract sports enthusiasts to the Pavilion. The interactive videogame will engage delegates from the 2010 model G8 youth summit in Gravenhurst, Ontario in real-time football matches with media.
Christie’s revolutionary MicroTiles modular display technology will be a focal point at the Pavilion, presenting stunning visuals to showcase Canada as a modern and innovative country. With its simple building block design, 75 Christie MicroTiles, configured in 3 unique building shapes to create a Cityscape facade, will display high resolution video to assist media with story development about Canada.
“We are happy to support DFAIT and Lord Cultural Resources with our latest display technology to help showcase Canada’s many strengths and create an enjoyable oasis for media,” comments Gerry Remers, president and COO, Christie Digital Systems Canada, Inc. “At Christie, our innovations are driven by a constant focus on providing exceptional image quality – to entertain, engage and embrace the world through visual communication.”
The Experience Canada Pavilion is organized into three distinct areas. Each zone includes informative displays, interactive experiences and locally inspired natural landscapes. Within these zones, there will be additional programming such as Canadian culinary food tastings, exhibitor displays and World Cup football matches.
