Our approach
To bring this vision to life, an impressive Dots wall made up of 45,000 flat, miniLEDS was installed. The surface measured 45 meters in width and 2 meters in height, and it curved along the inner border of a stunning balcony. Powered by46 controllers, the installation was seamlessly integrated into the hall. This state-of-the-art system and cloud management allow the Sihlcity Mall to deliver real-time information and immersive entertainment through dynamic, customizable visual displays.
The results
This cutting-edge smart LED screen has quickly become a defining feature of the mall, transforming the atmosphere of the space. The project successfully combines functionality with visual impact, enhancing the overall shopping experience with innovative digital lighting displays.
TECHNOLOGY
Project specifications
Group Type
The installation was managed as one grand object thanks to Twinkly's in-app grouping functionality: Join.
Mapping Type
Even with its curved form, the surface was seamlessly mapped with 2D mapping. The Twinkly App scanned large groups of LEDs at a time to then let the cloud reconstruct a faithful 2D-layout.
Content Upload
Once mapped, the custom video content was uploaded and played on the LED surface using Twinkly WebApp.
Remote Control
Thanks to the cloud connectivity the client was able to manage the display's schedule and programs from anywhere, even from a different city.
