The United Arab Emirates has positioned itself as a regional leader in creative innovation, immersive experiences, and future-ready cultural programming. With a strong emphasis on tourism development, digital transformation, and public engagement, event organisers in the UAE increasingly seek installations that combine artistic expression, technology, and accessibility.
Motion Canvas, developed by NXT Interactive, is a gesture-responsive digital art installation that converts real-time movement into visually dynamic digital output. It is designed for museums, cultural districts, festivals, government-led public engagement programmes, and premium retail destinations across the UAE.
What Motion Canvas Is
Motion Canvas uses depth sensors and generative art algorithms to translate participant motion — such as hand waves or body movement — into flowing visual compositions. The installation is fully passive, requiring no instructions, controllers, touchpoints, or wearable devices, making it ideal for high-footfall environments.
How It Works
Motion Sensors: Track participant movement
Live Rendering Engine: Produces digital patterns, shapes, or visual motifs
Display Systems: Works with LED walls, projection surfaces, digital tunnels
Custom Themes: Adaptable to corporate, cultural, or artistic requirements
Continuous Operation: Supports long-duration activations
