Exactly a year after Nokia created the biggest light show the capital had ever seen - a 4D projection that covered Millbank Tower - the mobile giant transformed an entire London square last night into an immersive audio-visual show starring deadmau5.
Nokiarigged every inch of Flat Iron Square in Southwark, using specially developed software, to come alive in sequence to a deadmau5 set. People arriving in the square saw just a normal London street, and as the music started the technology allowed in to be 'played' like a musical instrument.
Adam Johnson, Head of Consumer Marketing (UK & Ireland) at Nokia said: "We wanted to do somethingas innovative as our productsto celebrate the launch of the new Nokia Lumia range. The show took its inspiration from the vibrant colours of the range. The Nokia Lumia 920 has extraordinary low lightcapabilitiesandwe wantedto create an event that would showcase thisfantastic feature and still show that our products stand out from the current sea offaceless black handsets".
deadmau5 said: "Playing Millbank Tower was an incredible experience, soit'sgreat to be back in London to team up with Nokia again. The new show was a totally different concept from last year, but equally inspiring and technically challenging."
The Nokia Lumia 920 isNokia'sflagship Windows Phone 8 smartphonewhichincludesthe latest advances in Nokia'sPureView imaging innovation. Using advanced floating lens technology, the camera in the Nokia Lumia 920 is able to take in five times more light thanothersmartphones without using flash, making it possible to capture clear, bright pictures and video indoors and at night as it is able to compensate for hand movement while the photo is being taken.
Conor Pierce, VP for Nokia said: "We see the Lumia 920 as one of the most exciting phones we have launched at Nokia, it includes some truly groundbreaking innovations: Wireless charging, a screen that automatically adjusts its colour and brightness, depending on sunlight, a touchscreen that even works when you're wearing gloves and best of all it's a beautiful device; like the 'This is Lumia' event the 920 looks just awesome."
