Awakening at the Wynn Resort: the magic of immersion

How do you add a futuristic twist to the winning recipe of Las Vegas shows in terms of design and technology?

That’s the challenge producers Bernie Yuman, Baz Halpin and Michael Curry set themselves in partnership with Wynn Resorts and director of entertainment operations Rick Gray for the Awakening show.

The challenge of creating an immersive environment for the audience is possible, in part, by the audio and video equipment that Solotech provided.

For this event, video has an undeniable supporting role in the experience. Upon entering the venue, the audience notices the massive LED stage floor, which accompanies the show as it evolves: “It’s incredibly useful to use the floor as a light source (…) especially to support the illusions” Tom Colbourne director of screen content.

This custom LED stage set with variable resolution and pixel count is designed by 5Ten, a visual technology company.

The stage wall is composed of ROE Visual Vanish V8 high transparency LED panels. The imagery is broadcast through eight disguised media servers.

For audio, sound designer Peter Hylenski sought to combine the intimacy of headphone listening with the energy that flows through a large venue system. By using Meyer Sound products, the sound can be gathered from all sides and create an unparalleled harmony in the room. The immersive experience for each listener is well respected.
