MicroCity Media Table
The Brief
We designed and built a 3D printed/Laser Etched model of the Greater Vancouver Region. This was laid on top of 9x 55” monitors displaying an animation about the past, present and future of transportation in Vancouver.
The media table was the central exhibit piece of an event called “Transport 2050” being organised by our awesome partners MRG Events on behalf of Translink. Since the event, the media table has been featured in Lego’s world-renowned “Towers of Tomorrow” exhibit and it now resides in a permanent display at Vancouver’s prestigious Science World Museum.
Tech Specs

The Build
We had such a rock star team working on this build, from digital programmers, 3D modellers and animators to physical craftsmen and light/sound technicians, all of which played a vital role in bringing this concept to reality.
