Modulo Pi Celebrates Thea Award for Aquascope Success
Modulo Pi, a provider of media server solutions with a user-friendly design, is celebrating the success of Futuroscope, France, which has been honoured with the Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement – Water Park for its Aquascope attraction.
This accolade is awarded for excellence in the themed entertainment sector and highlights the attraction’s innovative blend of technology and immersive design.
The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) acknowledged the winners of the 31st Annual Thea Awards at a Gala during TEA INSPIRE in March 2025.
Demonstrating the 3D Auto-Calibration Module
Aquascope launched in July 2024, merging advanced multimedia, immersive storytelling, and interactive technology within an aquatic setting. Modulo Pi’s media server solutions underpin this innovative approach by ensuring that the immersive setup is both precise and robust.
In the main Kiné-eau area, a water pool is encircled by a 165 square metre, 270-degree panoramic screen powered by Modulo Kinetic, delivering 44 million pixels of projection through five Barco 4K22 projectors. Meanwhile, in the La Crique area, a stunning 300 square metre video mapping installation comes to life using four Barco 4K projectors and Modulo Kinetic at a resolution of 33 million pixels.
Alongside real-time media playback and show control, the Modulo Kinetic server ensures perfectly synchronised visuals, lighting, and interactive water effects, creating a captivating multi-sensory experience.
Moreover, the project served as a preview for Modulo Pi’s 3D auto-calibration module, which aligns and maintains projector calibration in Kiné-eau’s challenging, humid environment. By integrating PoE cameras and a 3D model of the projection surfaces, this technology facilitates precise, automated warping and blending, significantly reducing setup time and simplifying maintenance of the expansive 270-degree screen.
The Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement – Water Park follows Futuroscope’s success in 2022, when the Modulo Pi media server-powered attraction Chasseurs de Tornades was recognised with the Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement – Attraction.
“Modulo Pi is proud to support Futuroscope’s ongoing innovation and to contribute to next-generation immersive experiences through its advanced media server technology,” states the company.
Recently, Modulo Pi celebrated the second anniversary of the launch of Le Mime et L’Étoile at Puy du Fou in France. This multi-award-winning show pays tribute to the origins of cinema and features an audiovisual setup that integrates dynamic projection mapping, lighting, and spatialised sound with exceptional accuracy, all powered by Modulo Pi’s Modulo Kinetic media server.
