How animation brings stadium screens, LED walls & venues to life
Large format visuals in live events did not appear overnight. Their roots can be traced back to the early 1990s, most notably with U2’s pioneering Zoo TV tour in 1991, which used large-scale projections to create a “multidisciplinary masterpiece.”
As LED technology developed throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, displays began to see more widespread deployment in sport stadiums and concert venues.
