We strive to reinvent environments that will inspire creatives and non-creatives alike. Technology is in its prime, and while functionality is important, we strive to also focus on the beauty. We want to help our communities see what’s possible so they can innovate in their own ways.

The City of Orlando put out an RFP for a new park design and programming to activate Downtown Orlando in a unique way. We're not park designers…or so we thought. We put together a stunning and innovative experience for the community and visitors of Orlando called Art² (and it's currently being approved by the city!). Check back soon for more details!
THE CUBE
The cube is a concept project that our team designed. A massive “floating” cube would be hung from neighboring buildings. The cube would be comprised of 20’x20′ video walls on each side and the bottom of the cube. Digital art and video would play on the cube; absolutely no advertisements! The sole purpose would be to utilize an art piece to promote more art.
BURNING MAN HEART
We designed this heart for the infinite love camp at Burning Man in 2019. It was mounted high in the air and served as a beacon for those looking for camp. The multiple layers of LED lights were programmed to have different effects adding extra dimension to the piece.
CREATIVE EXPERIENCES
We’ve created a ton of environmental experience concepts, each unique to its own purpose. Some are currently in the works and under NDA! If you’re interested in knowing more about some of our capabilities and past experiences, reach out! Or if you have some ideas or opportunities, we’d love to partner to make something awesome together!

Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room
Our friends at Burns & McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects physically. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.
Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR
Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short regarding real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall allows everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns & McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.
Proud Partnership with Burns & McDonnell
We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns & McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns & McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.
Collaboration with Igloo Vision
In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, Ascend took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.
A Global First – 360 LED video Wall Room
We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.
Easy Streaming and Control
The system allows the Burns & McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.
A Team Effort
This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire Ascend team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.
Watch the Installation Film
Finally, don’t miss the film showcasing the installation process. It beautifully captures the transformation and highlights the incredible features of the world’s first 360 LED video wall room!
