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.

“Gentilhomme’s installations are the first of their kind for the aviation space.” –Madilyn McKinley, Travel Radar

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.

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 immersing guests in a 360º immersive 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, featuring scenes from Mars, swims with manatees, fireflies, and fish. "Windows on Orlando" is a triptych of 32-foot-high screens spanning 114 feet that give the illusion of three windows that open up onto mesmerizing scenes celebrating Orlando.
