Project overview
Expo 2020 Dubai brought together 192 countries across a vast purpose-built site under the theme Connecting Minds, Creating the Future. Alongside the physical Expo, a digital twin extended the experience to remote audiences across web and immersive platforms.
Commissioned by Sensorium, Overview Collective led the 360° capture operation across the site — coordinating with pavilion and Expo teams, producing immersive photography and video, and managing post-production and quality control through delivery.
The wider digital experience ultimately helped extend Expo beyond its physical footprint, reaching audiences around the world.
Expo 2020 Dubai reached audiences far beyond the physical site, with approximately 24 million visits in person and more than 200 million online visitors over the event period.

EXPO 2020 DUBAI
IMMERSIVE PRODUCTION · 360° CAPTURE · DIGITAL TWIN
Capturing the Expo
This wasn't a conventional location shoot. The production required moving systematically through a live international event, coordinating with pavilion representatives and Expo teams while capturing spaces designed by countries and organizations from around the world.
Overview led the on-the-ground capture workflow — planning shooting schedules, managing camera operations, navigating access and operational constraints, and ensuring that footage arrived in post-production consistently enough to become part of a much larger digital environment.

The project demanded coordination across pavilion teams, consistent visual standards and a fast-moving production schedule — ultimately creating a library of immersive content that became part of the wider Expo digital twin.
Alongside the digital-twin work, we also supported Expo’s Programme for People and Planet, editing event content for use across its digital and social channels.
