At the Mansour Festival in Yas Park, Abu Dhabi, Power Interactive deployed a 14-metre immersive projection dome for Mansour Studio — creating a vibrant, family-focused storytelling environment where animated characters and stories came to life around visitors in 360 degrees. The installation became one of the festival's most popular attractions, drawing families and children into an experience that was as technically impressive as it was imaginatively joyful.
The Mansour Festival is one of the UAE's most beloved family entertainment events — a high-energy celebration of the iconic animated character that has captured the imaginations of children and families across the Arab world. The challenge was to create an immersive experience that did justice to the richness and energy of the Mansour universe: an installation that would feel genuinely magical to young visitors, hold the attention of families across multiple visits, and stand out as the centrepiece attraction of the entire festival.
Delivering a 14-metre immersive projection dome in an outdoor festival environment at Yas Park presented significant technical and logistical challenges — from dome deployment and multi-projector calibration to the development of bespoke animated content that was purpose-built for the dome format and faithful to the Mansour brand. Every element of the experience had to be vibrant, reliable, and capable of running continuously throughout the full duration of the festival.
When a child steps inside a dome and looks up to find their favourite character surrounding them on every side — that’s not a screen. That’s a world. Our job was to build that world and make it feel completely real.
Mansour Festival Activation Team
The Mansour Festival immersive dome became one of the most popular attractions at the event — drawing consistent queues of families and children throughout the festival and generating significant social media attention. The combination of the 14-metre dome, bespoke Mansour animation content, and spatial audio created an experience that was genuinely immersive and emotionally engaging for young visitors. Families returned multiple times across the festival, and the installation was widely cited as a highlight of the event.
The project demonstrated Power Interactive's ability to deliver large-scale immersive dome experiences in live outdoor event environments — combining technical precision with creative content development to produce a result that exceeded both the client's expectations and the audience's imagination. It also reinforced the 14-metre immersive dome as one of Power Interactive's most powerful tools for family and entertainment activations across the UAE and region.
