Experiential Spaces
Barco Residential’s award-winning UHD 4K projectors will be on display throughout the event and will feature class-leading image quality in UHD 4K HDR and native Cinemascope on select models. Their laser light source provides longevity, ease-of-use, low maintenance and best-in-class light output.

In Audio Room E107, Barco Residential will create different experiential spaces together with our partners to highlight the experiences that can be created leveraging some of these unique technologies to create an unprecedented level of architectural and design integration.

This will include a living room space with a complete solution that showcases how a “big” experience can be created in a smaller space by integrating the technology in walls and even furniture. Our Balder 4K projector will be the star of this space, which will also feature a Zero-G screen by Screen Innovations, sound by Steinway Lyngdorf, Display Technologies mounts and a Cineak Gramercy Sofa.

Powered by our Wodan 4K projector, a media room space will turn a complete wall into an immersive canvas for a range of exciting and fun applications playing with different types of content. It will feature sound by Meridian Audio, a Display Technologies screen and a Cineak Largo Sofa.
