Permanent installations

Panora.me celebrates its 35,000th Super Zoom for Brussels!

Over the last six months, the Super Zoom installations in Brussels recorded an impressive 35,000 generated videos. Taking into account that the Grand Place installation was closed over the previous 2 months (it will be back for Spring), that's really positive. At Atomium, the installation generates an average of 5,000 Super Zoom videos per month.

The tourists visiting Brussels have adopted the service, and the touchscreen outdoor kiosks are doing the job. For Panora.me, those two permanent and self-served installations have provided a lot of exciting learnings both in terms of guest experience and on the technical side.

Huge success for the Super Zoom installation at the Atomium

Originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (Expo 58), the Atomium is one of the most touristic places in Belgium.

Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (60 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.

For the city of Brussels, it was obvious that a permanent Super Selfie should be installed there. Since July, this is the case: every day, the tourists visiting Atomium are offered to take their free panoramic selfie and share their memories with their friends.

Our cameras are installed in a tower and pointing towards the touchscreen kiosk located on the platform.


Brussels opts for Super Zoom to facilitate its promotion abroad

Summer is coming, and along with it, its flow of tourists on the Grand Place.  After the success of the campaigns carried out on the initiative of Philippe Close, the City, in collaboration with the Brussels-Capital Region, has decided to rekindle a promotion campaign, through Super Selfie, a technology designed by the Belgian start-up, Panora.me.

For Karine Lalieux, Deputy Burgomaster of Culture, Tourism, Major Events and Public Cleanliness, the aim of this system is clear: “The tourists who come to Brussels are our best ambassadors. With Super Selfie, we want to give them the opportunity to show Brussels at its best, by sharing it on social networks and instant messaging”.

Since last Thursday, the tourists visiting the Grand Place can trigger a shooting device placed out on one of the roofs, from a terminal. Eventually, they receive a short video by email, which starts centred on them, then zooms out spectacularly to offer a panoramic view of the place.

For Panora.me, the start-up which created this technology, this permanent facility represents a return to their roots. “In the past months, we have been operating panoramic selfie on events all over the world. So, we are thrilled to propose our panoramic selfie system to tourists visiting Brussels, because it’s here that everything started, and it’s a fair reward for Brussels to be the first city in the world offering this service permanently”, adds Raphaël de Borman, the co-founder of Panora.me.

The Super Selfie terminal is located right in front of the Tourist Information Desk.  You can access it at any time throughout the day until 5:30 pm.

We've installed a permanent setup for Dakota Photos in the iconic Santiago Bernabéu football stadium...

Every day, the visitors of the Bernabéu Tour can take their Super Selfie.  A dedicated staff member assists them in the process...  He's equipped with a tablet loaded with a custom-made web app that allows him to trigger the remote cameras.  He can also link the Super Selfie video with the QR code printed on the wristbands of the visitors.

At the shop, the visitors can retrieve their Super Selfie and buy one of the 'souvenir package' proposed by Dakota Photos.
