Royal Caribbean's Latest Cruise Ship Sets Sail

The creative team at WWG has long believed that the future of dance oriented entertainment belongs to video, but a very particular type of video. We don't believe in hard imagery, promos or movie off-cuts, but in video-based scenery, video-specific art and video wallpaper. With these principles in mind we have created a video vortex, a phantasmagoria of moving images and shifting colours in-the-round, to complement the unusual interior architecture of The Vault. (For fuller details see our new Marine section).

The star of the show is a totally unique video projection system called Vertigo, that enables video images to be moved, dynamically within the space. This has been achieved by the application of WWG's patented, twin axis, orbital scanning device to bright, triple-DLP™ video projectors. The results are not just spectacular, but also revealing in terms of performance - Vertigo can place streaming video images anywhere, anytime, anyplace and also move it around to pre-programmed configurations without any distortion of the pictures.

The entire system in The Vault is controlled from a single human interface.

DLP is a trademark of Texas Instruments, which they use to describe proprietary video projectors incorporating TI's projection modules using their Digital Micromirror Device™ optical microchip(s).
