At 5,000 square feet and with a 40-foot ceiling height, The Map uses seamless 16k laser projection as a light source. With twenty-six projectors, and our revolutionary Holoplot sound system, The Map equals to twenty-six surround-sound theaters in 360. The directional sound of the Holoplat system precisely shapes and steers sound beams into two dimensions, localizing sound into sound fields. As viewers move throughout the space sounds change around them.
