Palo Alto, CA (2015, 2017)
This is the Executive Briefing Center lobby for HPE’s headquarters in Palo Alto. This 38 monitor frame-synced video wall is driven by 12 multi-head computers, giving each screen a full 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. There are 2 sets of artistic sequences, “states of play” and “states of calm”, which alternate with more traditional branding content on a schedule. BBI created a web-based CMS that the client can use to create content playlists, set schedules, and include specific welcoming images for particular visitors. By the time the project completed, BBI had also created a 32 display multi-windowed video wall below for the EBC auditorium, a custom badging and sign-in system, and four touchscreen kiosks highlighting HPE’s sustainable products. Once clients get their hands on us, we are frequently asked to add to our scope.
