The 60 ft. “Trump Dome” that debuted in New York City this past June made it’s way to Bel Air for a second appearance at the end of August. The dome was set up at a private estate for another lavish party to celebrate the new Trump International Hotel & Tower on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. This was the second stop on a worldwide tour which will include London and end in Dubai. It’s all part of Donald Trump’s plan to spread the word about his joint building project with real estate developer Nakheel.
Many Hollywood celebrities joined Donald Trump and Nakheel’s Executive Chairman, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, in Bel Air for the exclusive event. Christina Aguilera’s live performance was one of the evening’s highlights and the stiltwalking greeters, with hats shaped like Trump’s new property, helped put this party over the top!
The sleek, white dome was where the real magic took place though. This was where Trump and Nakheel were able to transport all 1,000 guests to Dubai with the use of Obscura Digital’s amazing technology. The dome became a giant cinema where 360 degree video projection brought imagery of the gulf islands and Trump’s new tower to life. Inside the dome, Hollywood’s elite felt like they were standing right underneath the property. Obscura put together a presentation of continually changing video screens, that to some felt like a movie trailer, and the dome’s immersive environment helped to pull off the whole experience (click here to see some more photos of the event).
The 60 ft. event dome was designed with an exterior geodesic frame, only the second of its kind. Suspended from it on the inside was a 3-layer fabric cover. This design works in conjunction with Obscura Digital’s proprietary projection liner that features vacuum-sealing technology, ensuring a tight fit and smooth surface that’s not obstructed by the frame. It’s a very unique look which sets the dome apart from our traditional designs.
