Large-scale trade shows and product launch events rely on spherical LED displays to make brands stand out in crowded exhibition halls, where traditional booths with flat screens struggle to attract attention or showcase products in 3D. A spherical LED screen’s unique shape and immersive visuals create a “must-see” booth experience, allowing brands to demonstrate product features, tell brand stories, and engage attendees in ways that flat displays can’t. At CES 2024 in Las Vegas, a leading tech brand used a 4.5-meter-diameter spherical LED display to launch its new virtual reality (VR) headset. The sphere, built with 1.5mm pixel pitch panels and a quick-assembly modular design (set up in 6 hours), projected 360° demos of the VR headset’s capabilities—showing users exploring virtual mountains, attending virtual concerts, and collaborating in virtual offices.

Attendees could interact with the sphere via haptic controllers, “grabbing” virtual objects from the display and manipulating them to test the VR headset’s tracking accuracy. The sphere also integrated with the brand’s mobile app: scanning a QR code on the booth let attendees save the demo to their phones and schedule a one-on-one VR trial. For trade show marketers, the sphere’s portability was a key advantage—after CES, it was disassembled into 12 shockproof crates and shipped to MWC Barcelona for another product launch, reducing hardware costs by 50% compared to building a new booth. The brand reported a 380% increase in booth traffic compared to its 2023 CES setup, with 72% of attendees spending over 6 minutes engaging with the sphere (vs. 2 minutes at the 2023 booth). Post-show leads increased by 45%, with many potential customers citing the sphere’s “immersive demo” as the reason they wanted to learn more about the VR headset. For trade shows, spherical LED displays turn booths into destinations that drive engagement, generate leads, and leave a lasting impression.
