The star attraction of the recent Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India was not an athlete or foreign dignitary, but the world’s largest aerostat – created by Lindstrand USA, located in South Boston.
The 80m by 40m and 12m high aerostat is a unique piece of technology that is mounted with cameras to provide a 360-degree viewing experience so every person in the stadium could view the entire effect of the aerostat and laser projections. The high-resolution video projection featured animation graphics, parts of the Queen’s Baton Relay and much more, and was coordinated with events which took place during the ceremonies.
