Facebook Zone at Cannes Lions

Interactive multi-screen video grid

For Cannes Lions 2015, we created an interactive video grid for Facebook’s beach activation. The installation displayed 24 videos simultaneously while a tablet interface allowed visitors to record their own clips, choose a position in the grid and place their content alongside the existing videos.

The system ran across six client computers with a dedicated tablet-based server workflow. Delivered in two weeks, the project required extensive hardware testing to achieve the right balance of performance, reliability and cost for a high-traffic live event.
