TERMINAL C

Orlando International Airport

For the Orlando International Airport’s new Terminal C, we designed a series of immersive multimedia experiences and installations which explore the knowns and unknowns of greater Central Florida. The project reimagines the passenger experience by offering unexpected moments of magic within the world’s seventh-busiest airport.

OUR VISION

We transformed the airport into the destination itself, providing thought-provoking collective moments of magic that reshape how passengers connect with the city and surrounding region. The multimedia content is integrated into two large-scale features. As a result, an expected 60 million annual travellers passing through Terminal C will be able to discover over 70 video capsules that are curated and scheduled based on the passenger journey, in consideration of dwelling time, time of day and season.

OUR APPROACH

The nature-based photorealistic content of each installation brings tranquility and peace to a typically stressful environment, transforming the airport into an oasis while seamlessly blending into the architecture itself. We went to great lengths to create hours of original multimedia content, using state-of-the-art CGI, machine learning, live action, original music, interactive, generative and immersive underwater filmmaking along with 3D motion tracking technology that renders imagery in real time.

FEATURES

"The Moment Vault" is an interactive installation that immerses guests in a fully 360º world built in Epic Games’ UNREAL Engine. Up to 30 full body users’ movements are tracked in 3D in real-time and transformed into interactive silhouettes on screen, showcasing diverse scenes like those from Mars, swims with manatees, fireflies, and fish. "Windows on Orlando" is a triptych of 32-foot-high screens, spanning 114 feet, that gives the illusion of three windows opening up onto mesmerizing scenes celebrating Orlando.

"Gentilhomme’s installations are the first of their kind for the aviation space."
