In the heart of Qatar, the Place Vendome Mall stands as a beacon of luxury and innovation, showcasing the pinnacle of multimedia entertainment in one of the largest shopping centers in the Arab world. Entrusted with the task of bringing this vision to life, HB-Laserkomponenten GmbH embarked on a monumental project to create a mesmerizing multimedia show that seamlessly integrates water fountains, video mapping, laser projections and sound effects, centered around the mall’s expansive 150 x 80 m pool.

In cooperation with 3deluxe, HB-Laser developed the technical solutions for video projections and video mappings to bring art installations like „Glowing Meadows“ and „Glowing Trees“ to life. Additionally, the more than 2.2 km long walking path was installed with lighting technology, LED mapping technology and an audio system. This posed a special challenge, as the entire outdoors technology had to be almost invisible and specially protected due to the climatic conditions (0-55°C up to 90% humidity). Our know-how and years of experience working with difficult environments led to the desired success.

Mapping the largest statue in the world with both video and laser was a special challenge. Special thanks to our partners Pyramid Technologies, LNT and Christie, this enormous project could be realized in only 2.5 months.

HB-Laser was able to implement the complete planning including the projection center, cooling systems, switch cabinets and control technology in only 3 weeks. The production of all LightCube OPSL laser systems and the 51 video racks with special mirror technollogy was implemented inhouse in record time.

In the scenic Serbian holiday region of Zlatibor, a tourist center has been enhanced with a 200 x 65 m artificial lake, aiming to attract more visitors through a captivating multimedia show concept centered around the lake. HB-Laser was commissioned to bring this vision to life, creating an engaging spectacle that utilizes the lake as a focal point for nightly multimedia shows every hour. The implementation featured a Neptune HydroShield for displaying advertisements, information, and shows with video and laser graphics, alongside 12 Neptune VarioStreams and 11 Neptune MoveStreams with LED lighting.

This tailor-made solution included 3 HB-Laser LightCube 14W lasers, a Christie D20HD video projector, a Titan video server and laser controller, and a PR-electronic outdoor sound system, all housed in climate-controlled, weatherproof IP65 enclosures, demonstrating HB-Laser’s capability to deliver customized, innovative solutions that captivate and engage.

HB-Laser is the specialist for difficult environments, with many years of experience in underground installations.

Custom-made devices of HB-Laser can resist these extreme environments and they are very reliable for many years. Even at daily use in aggressive environments, the sensitive equipment is perfectly protected. This more than justifies the additional expense of custom-made devices.

Examples are the salt mine Berchtesgaden and the salt mine Heilbronn as well as mine Merkers in Germany.

Within this project HB-Laser was responsible for all exhibition showcases, lighting, the projection technology, sound systems, 3D models, reproductions of historical tools and rock scenery up to the special effects, such as the show blasting.

In cooperation with ATELIER STURM, HB-Laser developed the technical solution for the underground installation.

The special challenges here included show blasting and video installations in an extremely humid environment. Due to the high air humidity, the complete equipment had to be custom-made according to IP68 standard.

In cooperation with ATELIER STURM, HB-Laser developed the Flame Furnace museum in Königsbronn in Germany. In addition to lighting and video technology in IP67 design, the special challenge was to revive the historic flame furnace for the production of hard cast iron wheels.

With special LED technology, epoxy resins and silicon technology HB-Laser was able to realize this show-piece in an amazingly realistic way.

It doesn‘t matter whether historical happenings, cultural monuments or museums with ambitious historical issues, HB-Laser demonstrates expertise in many demanding installations. These monuments of history are shown as widely visible highlights.

Turnkey solutions is what many planetariums and museums expect from their multimedia partners. HB-Laser often proved their experience in not only doing spectacular laser and video installations for museums, but also providing furniture, interactive areas or the individual creation of themed rooms or areas. Many different applications with laser, video, water or other effects can be combined to tell history, stories or any scientific topic. The development of ‚Edutainment‘ systems are one of HB-Laser‘s core competencies.

ABOUT PLANETARIES

The particular challenge with laser for planetariums is to achieve a stable color balance. Especially when dimming down to zero, the colors should not change. The noise level of coolers and scanners should also be taken into account.
LightCube laser systems leave nothing to be desired in this respect.

In cooperation with ATELIER BRÜCKNER HB-Laser developed the technical solution for video projections and touch displays, installing the lighting and media technology for the Limesmuseum Aalen in Germany.

Everything is centrally controlled and monitored via HB-Lox Control.

INSTALLED TECHNOLOGIES:

» 7 x LightCube 860 LD low noise
» Titan laser controller
» Light controller and control cabinets

The high intensity and good visibility of laser projections allow long distance advertising applications as well as classic billboard advertising. The visual impact of a laser advertising display is much higher than classical advertising, especially at nighttime.

More and more festivals happen every year, concerts become more popular and many stage shows take place every summer.

Lasers are a great addition to any type of show – no matter if it‘s an electronic music festival, a rock & metal festival, stage shows or classical concerts. A laser showe underlines the music in a special way. They emotionalize the spectators and make them „feel“ the music much more intensely.
