Recognized for integration excellence by an international panel The Systems Integration India Awards recognize excellence in the design of audiovisual technology systems across a wide range of applications within India, completed by Indian systems integrators and consultants. In addition, the event seeks to showcase to the public how AV impacts productivity, energy savings and operations. After consulting together, VizExperts and Barco decided to enter the Science Exploration Hall project into the 2016 Systems Integration India Awards, held at the InfoComm trade show in Mumbai.
During a ceremony that took place on 12 September, VizExperts was presented with the 'Best Application of AV in Museums' category award in the premium budget segment (10 crore INR and more, or USD 1.5 million and more) for the project. The award was bestowed by an international panel of 6 judges that had no prior knowledge of the companies or suppliers involved in the submitted projects.

With state-of-the-art equipment from our OEM integrating seamlessly with our VizDisplay show management technology and constructive feedback from the National Council of Science Museums, we have created a real show stopper... presenting the story of Human Evolution at an unprecedented scale, in a way that has never been done before. We are very pleased with the support received from our OEM and feel proud to be a partner of Barco.
