Presented with the idea that the future is a "blank canvas" by Transitions Optical for its 2010 Annual Convention, PSAV conceptualized filling the 84,000 square-foot ballroom at Disney's Yacht & Beach Resort with just that—a blank canvas or immersive video screen—to support the meeting message: "Never Lose Sight of the Possibilities." The collaborative effort resulted in the production of a Wide Area Video or WAV that is longer than a football field and the "World's Widest Single Blended Video Display System."
