Project:
Volkswagen's Glaserne Manufaktur, Dresden, Germany
Client: Volkswagen/BRC Imagination Arts
Scope:
Contracted to design, fabricate and install all systems for Six,
high-tech attractions within the Volkswagen Special Events Center,
inside their new $400 Million Dollar Luxury Car (Phaeton) Factory.
Responsible for all interfaces and communications with General
Contractor, Architects, VW Market Identity Group, VW Manufacturing and
dozens of International subcontractors and installation personnel.
Imagine That redesigned most existing systems and attractions in this
$20-Million Dollar project, saving the client over $1.4 Million Dollars
overall. Attractions included "Vision World" (right), an 11-Meter
diameter globe with custom fiber-optic lighting systems and finishes on the
outside and a 270-degree interactive, digital theater on the
inside. Other attractions are the
"Virtual Test Drive" - a six-axis, motion-base, simulator ride
using an actual, modified Phaeton luxury car and "Virtual Production
Tour" - a virtual "live" tour through the assembly line
where visitors can watch
Phaeton cars being assembled by factory workers. Volkswagen
recently opened the Center to the Public with excellent "rave" press
reviews.
Imagine That would like to say a big "Thank you" to the "TEAM" (you know
who you are...) for making this such a great project!
