Laser show tells Chinas history

Since September 2012 the Daming Palace in the Chinese Xi’an is daily the stage or a wonderful and educative laser projection. The laser pictures tell on five big screens the history of the Chinese kingdom to the spectators.

The Daming Palace was built in 634 during the Tang dynasty and was rediscovered 1957 and dig out on the Longshou level land. Back then the archaeological site was the biggest and significant palace complex of the city. Since 1961 the palace is part of the list of the monuments of the people’s republic of china.

Bocatec elaborated all graphic elements for the unique laser show at the historical place. On five around 900 m² big, hydraulic gaze screens (25 x 35m) that have been installed by Bocatec the historical highlights were projected impressively. Bocatec used 2,5 km of glass fiber cable, which shows the size of the show. Besides that, Bocatec implemented 4 10W Piko lasers and 2 20W RGB lasers. Six PHOENIX-network cards controlled the whole show smoothly.

A visit of the national heritage park is really worth it, more than ever with this amazing show. Bocatec feels really honored to present the Chinese history to all visitors of the Daming Palace in such a great form.

Guerilla-Marketing for the Gamescom in Cologne

Comments: No

To put a logo oversized on house fronts, monuments, trees or mountains is always a great and catchy performance. Branding in XXL format reaches not only many eyes but also communicates the brand in a new and surprising way. Bocatec is pleased to realize those mammoth logo projections like this for the Gamescom in Cologne.

In august 2012 five days games, fun and excitement were the focus on the world’s largest trade show for interactive gaming and entertainment. By order of the agency Orange Cube Werbeagentur GmbH Bocatec projected advertising messages of a game producer on the walls at the water front near the Rhine. The dramatic guerilla action took around one hour. Applied were a Piko 14 and the software control Phoenix4 ProPlus show controller. A strong action with big effect, that Bocatec realizes for every brave brand.

Comments: No

PONG – the computer game sensation from the 70ies experienced a spectacular revival in September 2013. Bocatec projected the digital Ping-Pong game live onto a facade of the future gas and steam power station on the banks of the Elbe close to Wedel.

The network „Gamecity Hamburg“ initiated together with the energy company Vattenfall the worldwide biggest projection of the computer game PONG. Bocatec supported the bright projection on the surface of 700 m² of the game that was additionally streamed live. Two projectors, each with 15.000 ANSI Lumen power glamorized the sharp soft edge projection. The single pictures of the two beamers became then one big picture on the power plant facade thanks to a special video software. The beamers in outdoor housing projected from a 4m high layher rack onto the facade. Bocatec also cared for the internet connection via satellite and for the online access to the game. Two IP cameras provided the live picture of the projection.

During the days from 4^th to 18^th September 2013 the gigantic projection should take more attention on the site Hamburg-Wedel and the power plant, that will be brought on line in 2017. The new innovation power plant Wedel will start a new area of energy supply. In contrast PONG looks back on a time that was also the beginning of new times. The industry initiative Gamecity concentrates 140 companies from the gaming industry. They rose a lot attention for their industry and the energy and warmth producer Vattenfall with the creative event. TV and press reported about the unusual live projection, which has chances to get into the Guinness book of world records.
