LED manufacturer, ASB GlassFloor, has announced that its GlassFloor LED court floor will become a permanent fixture at the BMW Park Arena in Munich, partnering with FC Bayern Basketball club. A temporary version of the LED floor was used for the team’s opener in 2023, as covered by Inavate, with a permanent model now undergoing installation. ASB’s GlassFloor uses millions of LEDs set beneath a safety glass surface, supported by a double spring aluminium substructure, incorporating a touchscreen tablet running GlassOS software that allows users to display traditional basketball floor markings, animated advertising, game data, player introductions and more. The setup is designed to last for 70 years, with a reported LED runtime of at least 100,000 hours, with a setup that reportedly does not require resurfacing. The glass itself is claimed to be 2.5 times as elastic as hardwood flooring, featuring ceramic dots on its surface to improve grip and reduce friction burn when compared to traditional hardwood.

We all love a feel good story! 🇺🇦 Engage Works has donated a PPDS - Professional Display Solutions 85-in interactive board to a bilingual school in Kyiv, Ukraine, offering new educational opportunities for children affected by the war. SproutSchool, an English-speaking kindergarten, primary, and lower secondary school in Kyiv is known for its internationally recognised bilingual program, facing challenges due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which has disrupted the education of millions of Ukrainian children. More than 5.7 million school-aged children in Ukraine have been affected by the war, with thousands of schools damaged or destroyed, and almost 600 children killed and 1,350 wounded by Russian attacks. Engage Works donated a Philips T-Line multi-touch interactive classroom display to enhance the learning experience at the school, providing engaging tools for educational activities such as interactive lessons or collaborative projects. #education #proav #ukraine #donation #av #feelgood

As price points plummet and tech matures, the LED market has found a firm foothold in public consciousness. Reece Webb explores how the LED revolution poses new questions to the industry. Today, the world of LED is a highly saturated market; take a wander around any trade show, anywhere in the world, and you will find how a maturation of LED technology and an ever-decreasing price point has seen LED displays proliferate into our office buildings, homes, and public spaces. LED has also gained a foothold in the world of XR studios and virtual production environments, as direct view LED tiles, though considered an expensive, high-end offering, do not present a barrier to clients that want to pay a little extra to realise the benefit of technology and create cutting edge virtual environments. Reece Webb speaks to Johanna Ocampo, Jim W., SiliconCore Technology, Ross Noonan, LED Studio, Brad Koerner, and Damon Crowhurst, Ventana Design. #LED #Display #sustainability #architecture #digitalarchitecture #proAV #AV #feature

What does it take to create AV excellence for local government? Project Audio Visual demonstrates a delivery masterclass which overhauled Kirklees Council's operations with a seamless transition to hybrid working. Kirklees Council serves approximately half a million residents in the West Yorkshire region of the UK. Much as in the same way as the corporate world has had to respond post-pandemic to changing work habits, so have local authorities too. The shift to hybrid working required a new approach for the Council, who became all too aware it needed to make the office a desirable destination for workers to return to. It also had to facilitate easy-to-use collaboration with staff members who had chosen to spend some (or all) of their working week working remotely.
