Fireplay Designs Custom Laser Effect For Intel Keynote Speech At 2018 CES In Las Vegas
By: Caryn Robbins Jan. 11, 2018
Fireplay, the full service multi-disciplinary creative and design studio, created and implemented a unique custom laser effect for the Intel keynote speech at the 2018 CES in Las Vegas, NV. Working with the event's technical producers, John Halloran Associates, Fireplay assembled a team of technologists, programmers and laserists to create a proprietary laser effect to help Intel announce several technologies that are anticipated to have significant impact on our day to day lives through the use of data.
For the presentation, Fireplay designed and implemented a system of moving spheres, LED illuminators and pulsed high power laser beams to symbolize data flowing between connected devices and cloud-based network nodes. By executing a real time, high accuracy 3D tracking system that directly controlled the laser focus, each laser constantly tracked the target spheres as they moved in space. This allowed the master lighting board to create high speed, sequenced laser pulses that appeared to travel around the virtual network of nodes, symbolizing the movement of data.ABOUT FIREPLAY Fireplay is a cutting edge creative design studio founded in 2016 by seven of the industry's most prolific creatives and is responsible for bringing to life award-winning production and innovative design across a wide range of mediums.
