InterContinental Hotel Chicago

2012

This historic hotel is located right in the heart of downtown Chicago, one of the premiere shopping & dining locations in the country. The Intercontinental Hotel wanted to bring the excitement of Michigan Avenue into their beautiful lobby via a 1×8 full HD video wall.

42 Audio Visual worked with their partners to install full 1080p HD pan/tilt cameras on world famous Michigan Avenue and on the roof of the hotel that stream LIVE feeds of the Chicago skyline right into the lobby. We programmed the camera controller with camera angle presets so that with a touch of a button the hotel staff can get the perfect shot. Built on a Q-SYS control platform, the entire system was configured to be easily controlled with an iPad, enabling simple control for any user.

The installation won “Editor’s Pick, Best of 2012 Front Desk” from Illinois Meetings Events Magazine. Our video wall was even featured on Forbes.com!

Burns & McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room

Our friends at Burns & McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects physically. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.

Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR

Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short regarding real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall allows everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns & McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.

Proud Partnership with Burns & McDonnell

We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns & McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns & McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.

Collaboration with Igloo Vision

In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, 42 Audio Visual took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.

A Global First. 360 LED video Wall Room

We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.

The system allows the Burns & McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.

This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire 42 Audio Visual team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.

Finally, don’t miss the film showcasing the installation process. It beautifully captures the transformation and highlights the incredible features of the world’s first 360 LED video wall room!
