Dreamspace created Marriott Interactive AI Data Simulation Art, a one-of-a-kind immersive installation that transformed a hotel corridor into a responsive digital environment shaped by projection, real-time data visualization, and human interaction.
Experience, Digital Design & Execution
Marriott interactive AI data simulation art
Dreamspace created Marriott Interactive AI Data Simulation Art, a custom immersive installation combining projection, real-time data visuals, sensor-based interaction, and experiential design.

Overview
The installation was designed around five core pillars: people, excellence, change, integrity, and world. Those ideas shaped both the visual language and the interactive logic of the experience, allowing Marriott’s global connectivity and data-driven identity to become part of a living, responsive environment.
The Challenge
The challenge was to create something more than a digital display. Marriott needed an installation that could feel artistic, technically advanced, and brand-aligned at the same time. It had to communicate scale, movement, and global connection while responding to real people in real time inside a long architectural corridor.
Experience Concept
Dreamspace approached the project as a data-driven immersive art installation. The visual system translated Marriott’s network, guest movement, and global presence into flowing lines, particles, and geospatial forms. Rather than treating the hallway as a passive backdrop, the concept turned it into an active canvas where the audience became part of the experience itself.
Phase One: Video Loop
The first phase introduced the visual language through a custom animation designed as a teaser for the full installation. Electric lines moved between “data spheres,” representing connectivity between Marriott properties and the positive experiences shared across the brand’s global network. The installation used six projectors connected through a network of Mac Mini computers, spanning more than 100 feet with seamless projection blending to create the effect of one continuous digital surface.
Phase Two: Interactive Installation
The second phase turned the corridor into a fully interactive experience. Dreamspace partnered with Unity and Intel to retrieve depth and position data through RealSense depth cameras and sensors, allowing the system to recognize multiple users at once. As people moved through the hallway, they generated swarms of data points that followed them, interacted with one another, and distorted the globe-based visualization on screen. The result was a responsive environment with layered interaction between user, image, and system.
Technology and Interaction Design
Built in the Unity game engine with custom code, the installation used geospatial and behavioral data as the foundation of the visual experience. At its default state, the screen presented a globe formed by dots representing Marriott’s worldwide network of customers and locations. As visitors moved through the corridor, the system responded in real time, creating an experience that felt both natural and futuristic.
