Pixway brought me in to verify the automated set for the 2026–2027 lake stage production of La Traviata at Bregenz. The set was a giant shattered mirror whose shards moved on multiple automated axes, and the projection needed to track them perfectly. I scanned the set in three states, Open, Mid and Closed, all locked to a single fixed datum. Accurate data and full coverage were key, so I was granted permission to scan from the temporary crane structure, which captured the shards the ground scans couldn’t reach. The cleaned scan data went back to the CAD team to correct pivots and as-built positions so the projection stuck to every moving shard.
