Christie projectors are powering a new light and sound show that is transforming the façade of the Arts College building at Osmania University in Hyderabad, India.
DWU23-HS laser projectors were used in the project at one of India’s oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education. The university undertook this large-scale nighttime spectacle to explore Osmania University’s journey since its founding in 1917.
Aura Bright Light India integrated the project including installation, testing, and commissioning of the projectors.
Shailesh Vasani, managing director of Aura Bright Light India, said: “This project is our first large-scale endeavour combining both visual and audio technologies, and we are proud to deliver high-resolution images with remarkable detail. Our team’s dedication to seamlessly merge advanced technologies with the university’s iconic architecture was crucial in creating an immersive and captivating experience.”
Rishubh Nayar, sales director for India, Enterprise, Christie, added: “We are thrilled that our DWU23-HS projectors were chosen for this prestigious project. It’s an honour to contribute to a project that blends technology with culture and history so effectively.”
The Christie DWU23-HS projectors are strategically positioned to deliver colourful, lifelike imagery on the Arts College’s façade, which spans 107m in length and 18m in height. With guidance from Rhino Engineers, which managed the project and provided design consultancy, and the creative content expertise of Knownsense Studios, the project was executed seamlessly and completed on schedule.
Narendra Naidu, chairman and managing director of Rhino Engineers, said: “We’re very pleased to have been a part of this major project that brilliantly brought Osmania University’s rich history and achievements to life. The collaboration between all teams has resulted in a truly fascinating and educational experience for all.”
The show features music by Indian composer and playback singer Vandemataram Srinivas, and voiceover by South Indian actor Sai Kumar. Inaugurated by India’s Tourism and Culture Minister, G Kishan Reddy, the 20-minute performance runs on weekends, delighting spectators with its immersive visual and auditory experience.
