Features Virtual Aquarium, Projection



Project Details

Conceived with the notion of bringing dreams to life, the City of Dreams resort and casino turns fantasy into reality with its immense virtual aquarium. Built out of massive R-Cast™ acrylic panels modified to be used for projection, the panels evoke childhood fantasies of mermaids effortlessly slipping through the water. Water gently cascading down the front of the screens adds to the reality of the dream-like virtual mermaid show.

Manufacturing a rear projection panel of this size required three on-site bonds. The height of panels stands at nearly 22 feet tall (6.7m) and more than 30 feet long (9.2m). The panels are two inches thick (50.8mm).

Rear projection units turn the panels into a virtual aquarium, showing a variety of sea life along with fabled sea life such as mermaids.
