Kinetic Sensor LED Activation for MDL Beast

A 5 x 2.5 metre LED wall powered by real-time 3D body tracking and kinetic sensor technology — built for MDL Beast's Sound Storm festival. The Energy Mirror captured every move, stripped away the background, and wrapped each visitor in electrifying festival visuals. Three units. Four locations across KSA and UAE. One unforgettable activation.

MDL Beast needed an activation that matched the raw energy of their Sound Storm festival — vibrant, electrifying, and impossible to walk past. The brief was twofold: create a marketing tool that could build anticipation for the festival before the event, and deliver a genuinely thrilling interactive experience for partygoers during it. A single activation had to serve both purposes, across multiple locations in two countries.

The experience needed to feel as big and bold as the festival itself. It had to be visually spectacular in isolation — drawing crowds even without a live audience — while also being deeply personal and interactive when a visitor stepped in front of it. The challenge was to design something that worked as a passive marketing installation and as an immersive live experience simultaneously, at scale, across four different locations.

We didn’t want a screen. We wanted a portal. Something that made every person who stood in front of it feel like they were already inside Sound Storm.

How We Built a Mirror That Made Every Visitor Part of the Festival

Real-Time Body Tracking & Visual Effects

Using a 3D camera and kinetic sensor system, the Energy Mirror tracked each visitor's body in real time, removed the background instantly, and applied dynamic, colour-saturated visual effects directly onto their silhouette — making every person who stepped in front of it the centrepiece of the festival's visual identity.

Dual-Mode: Interactive & Promotional

The installation was engineered to serve two purposes simultaneously. When a visitor was present, it delivered a fully interactive, personalised experience. When no visitor was in frame, it seamlessly switched to playing MDL Beast promotional content — functioning as a high-impact marketing screen that drove festival awareness at every location.

Multi-Unit Deployment Across KSA & UAE

Three Energy Mirror units were fabricated and deployed across four locations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE — extending the festival's reach far beyond the event itself and creating consistent brand touchpoints in key markets during the campaign period.

5 x 2.5 Metre LED Wall

Large-format, high-brightness LED display wall providing the canvas for the Energy Mirror experience — engineered for indoor and outdoor visibility across all four deployment locations.

Dual-Mode Content Management System

Automated content switching system that seamlessly transitioned between interactive body-tracking mode and promotional video playback based on visitor presence detection — ensuring the installation was always active and always on-brand.

The Energy Mirror didn't just attract attention — it became a destination. At every location, visitors queued to step in front of the installation, drawn by the spectacle of seeing themselves transformed by the festival's visual identity in real time. The dual-mode design ensured the installation was never passive — when no visitor was present, it continued to market the festival to everyone who passed by.

By deploying three units across four locations in KSA and UAE, Power Interactive extended MDL Beast's brand presence far beyond the festival gates — turning the Energy Mirror into a pre-event marketing campaign in its own right. The activation generated significant social media content as visitors shared their Energy Mirror moments, amplifying the festival's reach organically across the region.
