Edinburgh International Science FestivalTo aid BT demonstrate their technological research
BT needed to make an impact at the Edinburgh International Science Festival. They wanted to reach a large audience and hold their interest despite other displays competing for their attention. BT had developed virtual reality systems that would allow remote diagnostic capability. It was important to see the full visual impact of the system to gain some idea of its enormous potential. They were also keen for audiences to be alerted to some of their key services. We provided them with a spectacular video wall, which demanded attention from even the most jaded festival goers, and we provided them with all the communication systems used by the BT Science Festival team for co-ordination.
Our technical install skill, exhibition space management and design, and overall event management, impressed BT so much, that they asked us to become involved in more specialised work. 'Trekkies' will remember BT's sponsored live video conferencing with the Star Trek actors at the Edinburgh City Art Gallery's Star Trek Exhibition. Fans could bask in the other world of Trek fantasy thanks to our video projector, video conferencing and sound installation. We also stage-managed the live link event. Probably as close as we will get to beaming up Captain Kirk and his crew.
