WHAT IS the star attraction of Commonwealth Games 2010? It is not our Indian athletes or any other player or Prince Charles or other foreign dignitaries but a multi-crore showpiece, an aerostat (helium balloon), which is going to steal the show during the Commonwealth Games opening and closing ceremonies at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
It is for the first time that such a massive balloon will be used for any entertainment/sporting event in India. The white gigantic helium filled balloon has been made at a cost of 70 crore rupees and floated 10 metres above the ground inside the stadium. However, during the opening and closing ceremonies it will float 30 metres above the ground. It is filled with 20,000 cubic metres of helium gas.
The 80m by 40m and 12m high, Aerostat is not an ordinary balloon; it is unique piece of technology which will definitely attract the spectators and visitors at home and overseas. It is mounted with cameras that provide a 360-degree viewing experience so every person in the stadium can view the entire effect of the aerostat and laser projections. There will be light fixtures with mirrors, which will be fixed on the belly of the balloon, and this will emit a warm glow.
The video projection will have animation graphics, parts of the Queen's Baton Relay and many more things. It will be coordinated with the events that will take place during the ceremonies. The projection will be of high-resolution and aerostat will lift scenic elements and create dramatic effects.
