The Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida, has debuted a new 3,000 square-foot LED display at the Kennedy Entry Experience. Positioned outside the center’s visitor complex, the display is comprised of the 6.6 mm EMPIRE Exterior LED Series by SNA Displays, and measures 30 feet tall and 98 feet, featuring over six million pixels. The giant curved video wall was designed with anamorphic content in mind, to treat guests of the Space Center to 3D illusions.
