Barco and FUNA International have partnered to develop projection, LED, lighting and controller solutions for several entertainment venues from stem to stern on the newly launched Allure of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, built by Royal Caribbean International

Visualization pioneer Barco is supplying integrated creative lighting and projection solutions for multiple live stage and cinematic shows presented on Allure of the Seas. The cornerstone of the deployment is a 3D digital cinema theatre – the first installation on a new cruise ship – leveraging Royal Caribbean’s pioneering alliance with DreamWorks Animation to showcase first-run movies produced by the company. Barco’s ultra-bright DP2K 20-C digital cinema projector marked the occasion by showing a video of the “Princess Fiona®” character, from the Shrek®” animated movie series, christening the ship. The projector, featuring Texas Instruments’ DLP Cinema® technology, will present 2D and 3D movies in the ship’s 1,400-seat main theatre.
