With a “Rockin’ Robots” theme, this year the South Florida Fair greeted attendees with a massive robot sand sculpture brought to life through projection mapping. Tasked with delivering a “wow” moment upon entry, The Electric Dream Machine (EDM) co-founders, Jasper Mosher and Shelby Wilson, used a collection of Epson 3LCD projectors to map eye-popping color and detail onto the robot sand sculpture that stood 10’ high, expanded 40’ long and extended 20’ deep. EDM also mapped a 20’ by 40’ mural that stool behind the sand sculpture.
