Exactly a year after Nokia created the biggest light show the capital had ever seen -
a 4D projection that covered Millbank Tower [http://youtu.be/SX2Gd-kqV5s ] - the mobile
giant transformed an entire London square last night into an immersive audio-visual show
starring deadmau5.
Nokia rigged every inch of Flat Iron Square in Southwark, using specially developed
software, to come alive in sequence to a deadmau5 set. People arriving in the square saw
just a normal London street, and as the music started the technology allowed in to be
'played' like a musical instrument.
Adam Johnson, Head of Consumer Marketing (UK & Ireland) at Nokia said: "We wanted to
do something as innovative as our products to celebrate the launch of the new Nokia Lumia
range. The show took its inspiration from the vibrant colours of the range. The Nokia
Lumia 920 has extraordinary low light capabilities and we wanted to create an event that
would showcase this fantastic feature and still show that our products stand out from the
current sea of faceless black handsets".
deadmau5 said: "Playing Millbank Tower was an incredible experience, so it's great to
be back in London to team up with Nokia again. The new show was a totally different
concept from last year, but equally inspiring and technically challenging."
The Nokia Lumia 920 is Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 8 smartphone which includes the
latest advances in Nokia's PureView imaging innovation
[http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/pureview ]. Using advanced floating lens technology,
the camera in the Nokia Lumia 920 is able to take in five times more light than other
smartphones without using flash, making it possible to capture clear, bright pictures and
video indoors and at night as it is able to compensate for hand movement while the photo
is being taken.
Conor Pierce, VP for Nokia said: "We see the Lumia 920 as one of the most exciting
phones we have launched at Nokia, it includes some truly groundbreaking innovations:
Wireless charging, a screen that automatically adjusts its colour and brightness,
depending on sunlight, a touchscreen that even works when you're wearing gloves and best
of all it's a beautiful device; like the 'This is Lumia' event the 920 looks just
awesome."
