BERLIN – At this year’s InnoTrans exhibition in Berlin, transportation company Bombardier integrated Martin Professional’s new VC-Dot 1 LED strings into an aluminum art structure used to simulate train traffic across the globe. The globe structure incorporated some 2,000 of the individually controllable pixel dots and had the undeniable effect of attracting visitors to their booth throughout the show.
“We asked visitors why they had stopped at our booth and most of them mentioned the globe installation,” said Daniela Schäfer of Bombardier’s exhibition staff. “Within the first few hours of the exhibition, it was a great success story.”
VC-Dots are lightweight strings of individually controllable LEDs available with 1, 4 or 9 LEDs per pixel. They come in an RGB color mixing version or cool, medium, or warm white single-color versions and are useful in integrating LED video into any form or structure.
The VC-Dot globe was designed and installed by Ambion GmbH, based in Kassel, Germany.
The Bombardier booth globe is one of the first VC-Dot installations worldwide and was done under extreme time pressure. “It is the only product on the market that allowed for the level of flexibility in programming that we needed for this project,” said Peter Breuer, CEO of Ambion. “They did what they do best – they built atmospheres.”
