Corona: Hippotizer blends healthcare images onto Parliament façade

London’s Palace of Westminster became a projection surface in May 2020 to coincide with International Nurses Day, as a series of images thanking NHS key workers were beamed onto the building from 260 metres away across the Thames.

Projection experts at Motion Mapping deployed two Hippotizer Amba+ Media Servers to blend and warp the visual content. Motion Mapping’s Stuart Harris says he made good use of Hippotizer’s Shape feature.

“We had just 45 minutes on site to get the projection right, including all alignment and blending with the framework of Parliament, to going live with the world’s press covering the event”, says Harris.

The visual content varied from messages of thanks to three-storey-high pictures of famed ‘founder of modern nursing’ Florence Nightingale, to coincide with the 200th anniversary of her birth.

Setting up on the south bank of the Thames, in the car park of St Thomas’s Hospital, Harris used four 30,000-lumen Panasonic projectors to create the imagery on the ornate architecture of the building.
