Christie®, a global leader in visual technologies, is set to make a significant impact at ISE 2026 at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via with a showcase that promises to elevate the art of visual storytelling through immersive and interactive experiences. Known for pushing the boundaries of visual innovation, Christie’s presence at Hall 3, Stand 3K500 will revolve around the theme “Passion meets possibility,” a concept that encapsulates their dedication to merging cutting-edge technology with creative expression. This event not only highlights Christie’s ongoing commitment to engineering excellence but also their deep collaborations with industry partners, all aimed at creating unforgettable narrative experiences.
At the heart of Christie’s display are interactive demonstrations that engage attendees in novel ways, including an innovative mask installation developed alongside Knownsense Studios and Faber. Here, visitors have the unique opportunity to design personalized patterns using tablets, which are then brought to life on striking masks inspired by Indian, Venetian, and Chinese opera themes, dramatically illuminated by Christie’s new Korus Series projectors. This interactive element embodies the company’s mission to unlock “new creative potential,” making technology an enabler of storytelling that is both personal and visually stunning.
“Our ‘Passion meets possibility’ theme reflects our relentless drive for innovation, engineering excellence, and the deep partnerships we build with our customers,” shares Sean James, executive vice president, Global Sales & Service at Christie. “It speaks to who we are and what we make possible, creating solutions that enable memorable storytelling and unlocking new creative potential to help our partners deliver successful projects.” This philosophy is further exemplified in the launch of the Korus Series 1DLP projectors, which offer a remarkable blend of 4K UHD+ clarity, vibrant color, and lightweight portability—30% lighter than comparable models—signifying a leap forward in projector design and usability.
Christie’s advancements extend beyond hardware to their powerful image processing platform, Christie VividLife™, which ensures pixel-perfect accuracy and consistent brilliance across LED video walls. This capability is crucial in maintaining the fidelity and impact of visual content, especially in immersive settings where color precision and grayscale accuracy can dramatically influence the viewer’s experience. The XP Series LED video wall, previewed at ISE, exemplifies this, delivering superior visual integrity from low to high brightness levels, which enhances the realism and immersion essential for fulldome environments.
From a creative standpoint, Christie’s integration of interactive and high-performance visuals marks a dynamic evolution for fulldome storytelling. The ability to project intricate, customizable visuals onto three-dimensional surfaces—like the cultural masks and large elephant sculpture—broadens the scope for narrative environments that are not only immersive but also deeply engaging on a personal level. This approach resonates with trends seen across contemporary immersive media, where audience interaction and high visual fidelity are increasingly paramount. Compared to traditional fulldome content, which often relies on pre-rendered imagery, Christie’s real-time projection and customization capabilities introduce a new layer of dynamic storytelling.
Furthermore, Christie’s collaborations with media server providers such as AV Stumpfl, Ross Video, and twoloox magnify their reach and versatility within the immersive media ecosystem. These partnerships enable a seamless blending of hardware and software solutions, essential for executing complex shows and exhibitions that can tour widely or be tailored for educational and entertainment purposes in planetarium venues. It’s a holistic vision that acknowledges the nuanced technology demands and creative aspirations of the fulldome community.
Within the broader fulldome landscape, Christie’s innovations contribute to a growing trend of integrating advanced laser projection and LED video technologies to create more vivid and interactive dome experiences. Their focus on light efficiency, portability, and superior color accuracy aligns perfectly with the needs of dome festivals, touring domes, and institutional venues seeking to captivate diverse audiences with compelling content. Having previously collaborated on dynamic immersive projects, Christie’s latest technological strides promise to inspire and empower dome producers and content creators worldwide, fostering a vibrant future for immersive storytelling.
In sum, with their return to ISE 2026, Christie not only reaffirms its position as a key player in visual technology but also as an enabler of enriched, interactive fulfillment within the fulldome and immersive media fields. As passion meets possibility on their booth floor, the event highlights the exciting path forward for those who inhabit and create within the ever-evolving world of visual storytelling.
