In an industry where the seamless fusion of creativity and technology is paramount, the launch of CurtainUp marks a significant milestone for professionals working in live entertainment, immersive environments, and themed attractions. Born from the expertise of 7thSense, a company with over twenty years of experience delivering high-quality audiovisual (AV) products, CurtainUp offers a fresh, dedicated approach to the intricate challenges of technical project management and innovative system design. With its foundation rooted in global experience and technical prowess, CurtainUp is poised to redefine the standards of live and immersive displays by combining inventive software solutions with hands-on project leadership.
The company is spearheaded by industry veterans Richard Brown, Matt Barton, and Adam Neale, whose combined backgrounds in pixel technology and complex project delivery across museums, theme parks, and live events ensure a deep understanding of client needs and creative ambitions. “For over twenty years, 7thSense has helped customers open shows, experiences and attractions on time by providing the highest quality, flexible AV products,” Brown notes. “With CurtainUp, we’re expanding on that legacy. We’re giving clients direct access to a dedicated team that’s focused on project management, technical problem solving, innovation, and turning creative vision into reality while 7thSense continues to expand its AV product offerings.”
Matt Barton emphasizes the core philosophy driving CurtainUp, underscoring the unyielding commitment to reliability and creativity: “Our approach is grounded in the unshakable rule of entertainment that is ‘The show must go on.’ That mantra continues with CurtainUp. We’re here to make sure no creative ambition is too big, and no technical challenge is too complex.” This mindset is essential in an industry where technical issues can abruptly halt moments meant to captivate and inspire audiences, and CurtainUp’s promise to keep projects on track reflects an unwavering dedication to that principle.
CurtainUp’s blend of technical project direction, custom software development, and proof of concept testing positions it uniquely within the fulldome and live event ecosystems. Particularly notable is their ability to provide rapid prototyping and feasibility analyses which allow creators to experiment boldly while managing risk—a vital asset in an age when immersive storytelling is pushing boundaries with ever-more ambitious multimedia installations. Compared to other service providers who might focus solely on hardware or software, CurtainUp’s holistic approach—from early concept stages through to final delivery—enables end-to-end control and innovation.
In the context of fulldome experiences, CurtainUp’s expertise in advanced display system design and integration offers tangible benefits. Seamless integration of next-generation visual technologies not only enhances the storytelling potential but also elevates audience immersion, allowing for highly detailed and dynamic environments that respond to narrative intent and technical requirements alike. This aligns with a broader trend in fulldome content creation that demands customization and flexibility, where each dome’s unique specifications and audience expectations call for tailored technical solutions.
Moreover, CurtainUp is well-positioned to serve a wide array of venues, from planetariums hosting educational programs to touring domes bringing immersive entertainment to new locations. Their collaborative ethos, as Adam Neale points out, emphasizes building strong partnerships with integration teams and clients alike, ensuring all project phases are supported with expertise. “CurtainUp is here to collaborate with integration partners and offer services that strengthen and support project teams. With a commitment to ensuring success at every stage, from concept to curtain call,” he explains. This approach is critical in the fulldome community, where multidisciplinary teamwork between content creators, technical staff, and venue operators is essential for pushing the medium forward.
As CurtainUp begins engaging with industry counterparts at events like IAAPA Expo Europe, their presence signals a forward-thinking step in AV project management and immersive experience development. Their work resonates particularly with professionals eager to see creative visions realized without compromise, melding technology, artistry, and meticulous project execution into compelling live and fulldome experiences. In a constantly evolving landscape of immersive media, CurtainUp’s arrival is a testament to the value of dedicated expertise in overcoming the complex challenges that define the future of entertainment.
