WORLD EXPO 2017

ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN

We showcased the capabilities and applications of Pavegen’s technology on an international stage at the World Expo in Astana, Kazakhstan. The theme for the 2017 Expo was “Future Energy”.

 

Pavegen’s installation featured a 360° Selfie Ring in the Energy Best Practice Area. 50 cameras in the ring were triggered once the ‘energy bar’ had been filled via footsteps on the Pavegen system, activating LED lighting in the building reception area. 

 

The World Expo saw over 3,000,000 visitors, and the selfie ring was used over 18,000 times generating circa. 432 kilojoules of Energy, whilst creating a unique experience for each user.

Pavegen’s Interactive Installation at the 2017 World Expo in Astana

At the 2017 World Expo in Astana, Kazakhstan, Pavegen showcased the power and potential of its innovative kinetic technology on a global stage. With the Expo’s theme of “Future Energy,” our installation offered a captivating, hands-on experience that allowed visitors to generate clean energy through their footsteps, while also creating memorable moments.

The Challenge

With over 3 million visitors expected at the World Expo, the challenge was to create an installation that not only captured the attention of a diverse international audience but also communicated the real-world applications of Pavegen technology. The goal was to demonstrate how everyday actions, like walking, could contribute to a sustainable energy future, while also providing a unique, interactive experience that would resonate with visitors long after they left.

Blending Technology, Fun, & Sustainability

We installed an innovative installation featuring a 360° Selfie Ring located in the Energy Best Practice Area. The Selfie Ring, equipped with 50 cameras, was designed to be triggered by the energy generated from footsteps on Pavegen’s kinetic tiles. As participants walked, the energy bar filled up, activating LED lighting in the building’s reception area. Once the bar was fully charged, the cameras captured a dynamic 360° photo of the participants, creating a memorable and shareable experience.
