Idea
A projection-mapped section of the wall, or the full wall if the budget allows, turns the final into a show. The wall is never projected on while someone is climbing. When the projection can run (between attempts, in breaks, at transitions) is left open and will be agreed with the organizers: every module is short, on demand, and can be triggered the moment a window opens.
Live Replay: the ghost run
The signature feature. Any run (the athlete's qualifier, the current leader, a record) is replayed as a ghost, overlaid on the attempt that just happened with synchronized time. Spectators see exactly where one climber gains or loses time. On the wall whenever a window opens, and always on the stream and side screens.
Live stats and results
Attempts, tops, zones, time and ranking, updated from the scoring feed.
Break visuals
Generative visuals adapted to the wall geometry whenever the wall is free.
Sponsors
Logo-reactive visuals, “powered by” moments and sponsored stat cards.
Audience
Live spectators, stream viewers, athletes, organizers, sponsors
Length
One day of projection, rented. Preparation takes 3–5 weeks, with on-site setup the day before.
Tech stack
- Rented laser projector (10–15k lumens), two with edge blending for the full wall
- 2–3 cameras recording every attempt, with pose estimation to align runs on the route
- TouchDesigner workstation fed by the scoring system
- Pre-rendered fallback mode that runs even if live data fails
- Live Replay also goes to the stream and side screens, where timing is never an issue
Budget
| Projector rental, 1 day, transport and install (billed at cost) | €1.2k–3k |

| Content design and development | €2.5k–5k |
| On-site crew (2 people, 2 days) | €0.8k–1.5k |
| Total, partial wall | €5k–10k |
| Total, full wall (2 projectors) | €8k–18k |
Launch partner pricing for the first projects. Equipment rental is billed at cost. Final quote after the wall dimensions and venue check.
Risks
- Ambient light washes out the image: a venue light check is needed
- Cameras can be blocked by judges, crew and crowd
- Projection windows are not guaranteed: modules are short, triggerable on demand, with the stream and screens as a permanent channel
- One event day leaves no second chance: full rehearsal and fallback mode are essential
Value
- Sellable sponsor slots
- Streaming appeal
- Content that carries over to the permanent installation
