Barco and Barnycz Group created a multi-tiered, interactive HD digital canvas that allows the retailer to dynamically communicate its brands and promote its product offerings. A combination of Barco LED and LCD created a high-impact, cost-smart approach to lighting up AEO's high-impact retail location. A stunning 12-faceted assemblage of LED panels, almost 15,000 square feet in size, is buttressed with a soaring 25-story LED tower. A total of 3.5 million pixels light up a rich array of imagery day and night to captivate the attention of millions of City visitors and residents.
