MOPIC Co., Ltd. Reinterprets Gaudi's 'Casa Batlló' Architecture as Immersive Content

    LOS ANGELES, CA, April 15, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Casa Batlló, world-famous Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi's masterpiece and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will exhibit immersive content in 'Exhibition Area 10' with MOPIC's Lightfield 3D signage. Visitors will be able to see the decorations on the high roof, which are difficult to see in reality, or the exterior facades with realistic 3D signage.

MOPIC's Lightfield 3D signage simultaneously displays footageor graphics taken from multiple locations in real-time with a software that combines them onto a single display. In principle, a special optical lens attached to the front of the displaycontrols the intensity and direction of the display light, enabling it to show parallax and three-dimensional effects.

A visitor at Casa Batlló remarked, "I was surprised to experience a three-dimensional effect from the digital signage because it looks just like a regular screen," and, "I think the cute shapes protruding out of the screen will remind visitors of this fresh experience and the beauty of the facade for a longer time."

The MOPIC system can provide a deep sense of space inside the screen and a three-dimensional effect that comes out of the screen without wearing VR glasses, so it is highly utilized in digital art and immersive advertising. In addition, it can accurately recognize objects and spaces, so it is useful in fields such as endoscopic surgery and remote control of heavy equipment that require quick responses while watching an image.

Since the second half of last year, MOPIC has applied their Lightfield 3D signage to Westfield Glories, a large shopping mall in Barcelona, Spain, and also demonstrated the Lightfield 3D system for remote monitoring in collaboration with Finnish heavy equipment company Karmar and telecommunication company elisa.
