Panasonic Projector & Display Americas To Power Dynamic Entertainment Activations At IAAPA Expo 2025

Panasonic Projector & Display Americas LLC will power immersive booth activations alongside key industry players at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo 2025 from November 18-21, 2025 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

The company’s projector and display solutions will help immerse show attendees in some of the latest themed entertainment activations. Specifically:

  • DOF Robotics (Booth #1369) will use the Panasonic PT-REQ80U 4K 1-Chip DLP™ Projector to power a dark ride simulator experience in its booth. Visitors will feel immersed in a vivid, life-like virtual world, similar to VR but without the headset. Instead, the projectors create the simulation. With a high frame rate and the ability to play back 240 Hz in 4K, the PT-REQ80U projector ensures the visuals move quicker than the eyes. The projector’s solid shine DLP reliability and ability to operate 24/7 also makes it ideal. Meanwhile, its warping and blending capabilities and color control ensure cohesive images across screens, helping immerse visitors in the virtual setting and make them forget where they really are.
  • Electrosonic (Booth #2069) plans to use three of the Panasonic PT-REQ15 1-Chip DLP™ 4K Laser Projectors to power a design-your-own race car activation via 3D projection mapping. Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to choose between different color and design options on a Panasonic display and watch the projection technology bring their design to life on the booth’s car replica. A Panasonic display will then showcase the car design for all to see and the designer can take a photo with it. Given the smaller canvas of the replica car, the team needed a projector that could power small pixels in 4K, making the PT-REQ15 ideal. The projector’s high-speed frame rate also ensures any design adjustments made on the screen can be produced quickly on the car.  “At Electrosonic, we’re committed to building the next generation of themed entertainment on a global scale,” said Alex Westerh, VP of Global Marketing for Electrosonic. “The latest visual technology from Panasonic helps us showcase the power and impact of our offerings on a more dynamic and engaging scale.”
  • Falcon’s Creative Group (Booth #2290) will use three of the Panasonic PT-RQ25K Series Projectors to create an immersive projection mapping display that draws visitors into its booth. The Panasonic ET-FMP50 Series Media Processor will serve as the primary playback device, providing remote control to all content and playback so the Falcon’s Creative team can make real-time adjustments as needed. One of the smallest projectors in its class, the PT-RQ25K was chosen for its compact size, color reproduction capabilities, and lens options. The main challenge associated with creating a projection mapping activation in a tradeshow setting is the potential for projected images to bleed onto a neighboring booth. The FMP50 allows users to control the output of projectors to prevent this effect and offers the flexibility to pre-program content to play at certain times of the show.

“We’re proud to support the industry’s leading innovators at IAAPA 2025,” said Brian Duffy, Sr. Strategic Account Manager – Live Entertainment at Panasonic Projector & Display Americas. “Their innovative activations push the boundaries of what’s possible for entertainment experiences, sparking imagination among audiences and driving tech innovation forward.”
