Innovation for Immersive Events.
Utilizing data collected by MARS Petcare’s team of expert researchers, Quince Imaging got to work developing creative and interactive visuals to produce an 18-minute, three-dimensional model of their “Retail Store of the Future.” Enlisting a combination of 3D animation and virtual reality, the store was designed to illustrate MARS Petcare’s concepts of modern shopper behavior via the three main shopping pillars: immersive shopping, intelligent shelving and premiumization.
Mars Petcare found Quince Imaging via search engine. Their vision was to create a virtual environment that could seamlessly transform a presentation surface into a true-to-life-scale retail store, illustrating the application of their research in 3D. The concept was to share the perspective of simulated “store managers” overlooking the retail space from the second floor window. When MARS saw Quince Imaging’s court-projection videos, they knew that Quince would have the tools and expertise to bring their concept to life.
IMPRESSIVE RESULTS
Employing a blend of state-of-the-art 3D image-mapping technology, 3D animation and immersive reality, Quince Imaging brought MARS Petcare’s vision of the retail store of the future to life. The virtual, futuristic retail store was actualized, by synchronizing a multiple-projector array, including nine Barco HDX 4K projectors and five custom-built Ventuz media servers. The displays consisted of over 40 million pixels of real-time-generated content, rendered in forced perspective to create an immersive, 3D viewing experience.
The 18-minute video serves as a valuable research and development platform for MARS Petcare to deliver modern, futuristic concepts to their retail partners. Working together, MARS and their exclusive, worldwide partners are on track to deploy the most innovative retail technology in pet stores today.
