Enhancing Traveler's Journey at Kansas City International Airport through Nanolumens Technology Upgrades.
In a groundbreaking renovation, Kansas City International Airport (KCI) has undergone a significant transformation, replacing its original three terminals with a new, technologically advanced facility. At the heart of this modernisation lies the collaboration between Nanolumens and Kansas City-based Dimensional Innovations (DI), who have brought large-scale digital displays to enhance the passenger experience.
The partnership between Nanolumens, a leader in LED display technology, and DI, specialists in creative design and implementation, has resulted in the creation of immersive visual environments that seamlessly blend with the architectural elements of the terminal.
Their work emphasises several key aspects:
1. **Seamless integration of custom digital displays**: The displays, affectionately known as "Digital Drywall," have been designed to fit perfectly into the recessed spaces of the terminal, creating a cohesive and visually unified space.
2. **Cutting-edge LED technology**: Nanolumens' advanced LED displays ensure vibrant, energy-efficient visuals that showcase each airline's brand with unparalleled clarity and vibrancy.
3. **Interactive design elements**: The collaboration has introduced interactive media that provides information and entertainment to travellers, making their journey through the airport more engaging and enjoyable.
4. **Enhancing branding and wayfinding**: Innovative digital signage has been implemented to guide passengers and reflect the rich local history, flavour, and culture of Kansas City, offering a unique and immersive journey from the moment they arrive.
This collaboration is part of a growing trend in airport renovations, where technology is being used not just for utility but for creating a unique, memorable environment for passengers, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
The installation includes 15 separate video walls in six different sizes, creating a massive digital canvas with over 18 million pixels. Ten Nanolumens 5.9mm Performance Series double-sided displays have been strategically placed in the curbside check-in area, while a smaller Nixel Series 1.5mm dvLED display, measuring 15 feet by 6 feet, was installed in the Arrivals area with a rear tube mounting solution.
Moreover, the Nixel Series created six Nixel displays at the ticketing counters, ranging from 6-16 feet wide and 4 feet high, designed to span the building's columns. The Nanolumens Performance Series, chosen for their ability to align with the architectural parameters of the new terminal, are mounted on custom poles in a flag configuration, enhancing the passenger experience from the moment they arrive at the airport.
The system developed by DI, powered by Green Hippo and tvONE, ensures seamless integration of each airline's unique content into the overall display, providing a personalised experience behind every ticket counter.
