Description
The Universal Exhibition motto was: «Mankind - Nature - Technology - Creating a New World» The “Planet of Visions” is one of eleven topics in the EXPO 2000 thematic park and is sponsored by IBM. Located in Hall 9 on 7.500 m² of space, this multimedia world of experiences is focusing on utopias and visions of humankind. «Planet of Visions» brings the utopias of world history into contemporary consciousness by projecting historic visions in gigantic panoramic scenes. A centrally administered high-speed PC network is the technological basis for the “Planet of Visions” exhibition area. This is what links all technical and audiovisual components and controls all interactive systems belonging to the overall architecture. The exhibition measures around 7,500 m2 and an approximate number of 100 IBM PCs and servers are synchronising the permanent show.
