Réalisations Inc. Montreal

Moving Architecture

Réalisations Inc. Montréal has created a first for club-goers at the eyecandy sound lounge & bar at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Using cutting edge technology, customers have the ability to control their nightlife experience from the comfort of their booth. Interactive, multi-touch tables permit guests to direct cameras around the lounge, create visuals and messaging that can be sent to other tables, and create sound mixes of their own

The sound lounge, located next to eyecandy’s dance floor, offers three sound stations that let users tap into their inner DJ by using their iPod. During promotional nights at eyecandy, guests can bring their personal music mix to play from their sound station, facilitating DJ access to guests’ music and the capability to play it through the main sound system.

eyecandy’s revolutionary dance floor has three layers of images. The glass dance floor is fed with global low-resolution LED video input that plays continuously on the 70 LED tiles of the dance floor. This LED video content is echoed by a high-resolution overhead video projection that overlays vibrant imagery on dancers. The dancers’ steps on the pressure-activated LED tiles trigger the third layer.  

Roger Parent, founder and president of Réalisations Inc. Montréal, says eyecandy sound lounge & bar marks a new step in the evolution of the club experience.

“People are used to being able to control their personal environment in their homes. eyecandy gives people the same possibility but one step further-it allows guests to create their own world in a public space,” says Parent.

This is only the beginning of interactive technology in people’s daily lives, Parent adds. “It will go further, and the line between the physical and virtual worlds will start to disappear,” he says.

Parent calls this phenomenon “moving architecture.” “We are at a point now where the limits as we know them are no longer barriers, but possibilities to rearrange our space.  In fact, the only limit we really have is our imagination.”
