Cirque Du Soleil

Spinifex Group developed an interactive application for the Optus Sponsor Tent at the 2007 Cirque Du Soleil. Users, tracked by an IR camera, would activate movie hotspots and particle trails, by moving below a rear projected ceiling.

Developed for Optus in collaboration with Spinifex and installed in the Optus sponsor tent during the Cirque Du Soleil Sydney tour, this interactive piece was an unobtrusive yet effective experience that saw the ceiling of the tent being used as a projection canvas.

Visitors were tracked by and infrared-based camera system, and would be treated to a visual display of particle trails following their movements across the space below. As they entered designated hot spots, special vistas of the performers would played back, providing a delightful digital pre-show to a spectacular evening ahead.
