HARMAN CES 2020

As a side event to CES in Las Vegas HARMAN hosts a yearly trade show taking place in the ballrooms of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. The trade show displays HARMAN sub brands through their divisions of automotive, lifestyle, professional solutions and connected services. The four day event is an invite-only and is directed at high level clients.

In the part of the exhibition relating to HARMAN Professional Solutions Kollision took part in creating a large responsive environment resembling the mood of four distinct car commercials running on a large display. These were selectable from a HARMAN AMX touch display. Using a vertical oriented LIDAR sensor visitors could, using hand gestures, control the light on the 14 meter canopy and wall inscribing the booth. In another part of the installation - a modification of the Follow installation in Rotterdam - users could interact on a floor shooting light beams up the connected 5 meter wall. Interacting in these environments displayed the potentials of connecting Harman audio, lights and controls to create engaging and interactive spaces.

The physical layout of the booth was designed by HARMAN. Kollision and Martin Professional teamed up and took part in planning the lighting and interactive parts of the installation in dialogue with HARMAN. The dynamic lighting design, tracking, interaction, and content were programmed and implemented by Kollision and scheduled and handled by Kollision’s MAP player through an integration with the HARMAN AMX system.
