Nokia Lab at SXSW

Nokia set up an unusual structure to house three nights of performances during the festival's Interactive portion. High Beam Events and SmartFusion built the inflatable tri-dome with 360-degree projections of custom branded content. During the music portion of SXSW, Nokia created a V.I.P. lounge inside the Fader Fort.
