Creating a magical adventure
Wings and Wizards is an interactive exhibit that merges art, tech, storytelling, and design to create a truly sublime magical adventure. Self-guided and touch-free, Wings and Wizards showcases the meeting point between technology and magic, making use of cutting-edge interactive technologies, such as motion tracking, proximity-based devices, lights, projections, props, and soundscapes, to weave a truly spellbinding experience.
The exhibit has been specifically designed with stringent COVID-19 protocols in place, in full accordance with British Columbia’s public health guidelines. Onsite rules and procedures for this contactless experience included a mask requirement, hygiene stations, a definitive audience flow, and physically distanced, timed, and staggered entry for pods of up to 6 people within the same social bubble.
The inaugural exhibit at BC Place in Vancouver saw 15,000 attendees come through with the response being overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
“I was so thoroughly impressed by the story that the narrated journey guided us through, the immersive set design, the well-cast actors, the technology of the interactive aspect, and the lighting design.”- @spellboundsteph
