Creating a Parallel Universe

Barco has always been synonymous with visual excellence. For years, they’ve relied on CREATE.eu to help bring their technology to life in ways that persuade, inspire, and fully immerse their visitors.


For the latest upgrade of their Experience Centre in Kortrijk, Barco called on us once again—this time to install four of their renewed Experience Center pods, including the flagship Immersive Experience Pod, for which we also imagineered a 5 minute immersive show.

A true parallel universe.

Challenge

Barco wanted to elevate their Experience Centre into a future-proof, high-impact environment where prospects, partners, and visitors can feel the power of Barco’s technology.

This required:

  • A fully synchronised audiovisual experience
  • A flexible, open, and industry-standard setup
  • Rock-solid reliability for daily demonstrations
  • A system that could support both fully automated shows and interactive demos
  • Integration across several media players, screens, projectors and lighting systems

Our Approach


1.Installing the Backbone of the Experience

Create.eu handled the complete hardware installation for four pods, including:

  • media players
  • screens
  • projectors
  • multimedia management
  • timeline control
  • A fully integrated show control environment

Every component was wired, configured, and calibrated with precision—ensuring that Barco’s technology performs at its absolute best.

2. Crafting an Immersive Show

For the Immersive Experiences Pod, we didn’t stop at the technical integration.
We created a custom-designed show that pulls visitors into a fully orchestrated visual and auditory world—one that showcases Barco’s products in the most compelling and emotional way possible.

Visitors don’t just watch the technology—they feel it.

3. Show Control: Complexity Made Simple

Show control is where everything comes together.
Our system ensures that audio, video, curtains, and lighting run in perfect sync.

Key features:

  • Two operating modes:
    • Show mode: a fully automated, perfectly timed experience
    • Demo mode: complete manual control for Barco’s presenters
  • Open and industry-standard architecture
  • A complex system distilled into something simple, reliable, robust, and high-performance

This is what Create.eu does best—turning sophisticated technology into effortless, scalable experiences.

All  audio, video, curtains, and lighting run in perfect sync.

The Result

The new Experience Centre pods now offer Barco’s visitors a smooth, powerful, and immersive journey.
The updated hardware, refined show control, and custom show content form an experience that is:

  • Innovative
  • Technically flawless
  • Emotionally engaging
  • Future-ready

Barco trusts us to bring their products to life—and together, we continue to build immersive universes that showcase their excellence:

“Barco knows they can count on us to showcase their products. Together, we push the boundaries of what an experience can be. This new Experience Centre is one of our strongest collaborations yet.” Christophe Hoebeeck, technical director CREATE.eu
