Exciting Collaboration: 4Roots Foundation at Orlando Science Center!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce our fantastic collaboration with the 4Roots Foundation at the Orlando Science Center! This inspiring organization, dedicated to “Unearthing the Power of Food to Build Healthy Communities,” does incredible work across the country. They support thousands of farmers and provide over 2 million meals to those in need. We couldn’t wait to join forces with them!

Innovative Game App Design!

Our teamwork led to an exhilarating museum design project at the Orlando Science Center. We proudly introduced an interactive garden game app that elevates interactivity and engagement to new heights! This project features a state-of-the-art audio and video system that truly brings the exhibit to life. We launched our first-ever web-based game, “The Experimental Garden,” designed to captivate visitors in an interactive and immersive experience.

Transforming the Experience: Integrating the game and the Massive Video Wall!

One of the most exciting aspects of this project is how the interactive garden game app extends its interactive magic beyond the screen! We integrated the game with a massive LED video wall, creating a stunning visual display that combines advanced technology with creative flair. Consequently, visitors can interact with the game in a highly engaging way, making the learning experience both enjoyable and memorable.

Enhancing Education with Interactive Learning!

The exhibit is designed to captivate and educate, making it a must-see at the Orlando Science Center. Our interactive garden game app perfectly aligns with the educational goals of the exhibit. By blending technology and creativity, we’ve created a learning experience that’s not only informative but also incredibly fun!

Experience the Innovation!

We’re incredibly proud of this project and are excited to share it with everyone! Head to the Orlando Science Center to experience the interactive garden game app and witness firsthand how we blend technology and education in such an innovative way!

Details

As you enter the exhibit, you’ll encounter a creative museum design featuring a “live feed” from our garden in space. The highlight is our robotic assistant, affectionately named “Rosie,” who tends to our space garden. By scanning the QR code on the video wall, you can download our interactive “Plant SIM 3,000” app to conduct your own plant experiments right from the Orlando Science Center!

Using our vibrant and engaging app, you can test your green thumb in space, learn about various plant species on Earth, and experiment with creating hybrid plants designed to survive harsh space environments.

In true themed fashion, you’ll sign your plant design, which is then uploaded via our satellite link to the Plant SIM 3,000 for production. Once completed, Rosie will showcase your new plant on the large video wall, proudly displaying your name. It’s a fantastic photo opportunity for families! The completed plants are featured on the video wall for about 15 minutes before cycling through new plant experiments, continuously sent to our Experimental Garden in space.

    Burns & McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

    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.
