What was achieved using the Connected Spaces Platform at Expo 2020 Dubai.

A city-scale, cross-reality

connected space.

We created a living digital twin of the 4km² site, built from the architectural files of the site and connected via data streams, video, and audio. It was populated with digital activations for both on-site and remote visitors. Both sets of visitors could engage in the same digital layer in real-time.

Accessible in sync between web, mobile apps, and headsets.

Live layers of experience across

physical and digital reality.

Physical and digital reality in sync.

The same content on two different base layers: reality and the digital twin.

“Our journey with Expo 2020 Dubai began in 2018 designing the visitor experience for the Mobility Pavilion. We quickly discovered that the messages of this Expo needed to be accessible to everyone, anywhere.

Working with the leadership at Expo and hundreds of our team around the world as well as more than a dozen partners, we designed, developed, and delivered a completely new way to experience events of this scale that could serve as a model for the world of tomorrow.”
