# NBA - NBA China Games 2026, Macao -- Seven Basketball Interactive Installations > For the NBA China Games 2026 in Macao, MLABART built seven basketball interactive installations at The Venetian Macao: the NBA House centrepiece, an AWS spot-shooting game on an LED court, a vertical-jump wall, a pick-and-roll defence challenge, a dribble challenge, an outdoor interactive LED court and holobox player displays. - **Client:** NBA - **Industry:** Sports - **Location:** Macau - **Year:** 2026 - **Published:** 2026-10-16 ## Scenario The Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets played two preseason games at The Venetian Arena on October 9 and 11, 2026. Around them, NBA House filled Halls A and B of Cotai Expo at The Venetian Macao from October 7 to 11, free to the public, with fan areas extending through the resort and onto the piazza outside. ## Interaction Each installation is a short sports challenge with an instant result on screen. Players shoot from lit spots on an LED court and get every shot graded; jump and touch a column of lights to see their reach; slide to stay in front of a life-size virtual ball handler; dribble as many times as they can against a clock; or walk across an outdoor LED court whose graphics move under their feet. ## Technologies - Motion Tracking - Interactive LED Wall - Interactive Game ## Marketing value Seven attractions spread across the venue keep a free, high-traffic fan event moving: every game is understood at a glance, rounds are short, and people waiting in line can watch the screen as well as the player. ## NBA House centrepiece Two giant sculpted hands hold a spherical LED basketball that carries the NBA House Macao identity, under a suspended ring printed with NBA House Macao 2026. It stands at the centre of the Cotai Expo hall as the landmark visitors arrange to meet at and photograph. ## AWS spot-shooting on an LED court Sands China's announcement describes NBA Inside the Game powered by AWS as an interactive shooting experience on a smart digital LED court. A round starts on the START mark; shooting spots then light up on the LED floor, a screen beside the hoop grades each shot on measures such as shot difficulty, and a cube display above the hoop counts down the time left. ## Vertical jump, pick-and-roll defence and dribble challenges Vertical-jump wall: two players stand below two columns of light dots, jump and touch the wall, and a side screen shows each result. Pick-and-roll defence: a life-size virtual ball handler drives left and right across a curved LED wall. The player slides to stay in front; the screen calls Stopped when they do and Too late when the attacker gets by, against a running clock. Dribble challenge: on a circular railed platform, the player dribbles against a timer while a curved screen counts every bounce, until it shows Time's up. ## Outdoor LED court and holobox displays On the piazza in front of The Venetian Macao, a basketball court laid in LED floor panels glows with court lines and team graphics at night, and its graphics flow and change as people walk across it. Inside, illuminated holobox displays show life-size players so that fans can take photos beside them. ## Why brands choose this approach - Seven installations for one event, from an expo-hall centrepiece to an outdoor LED court, delivered by one studio. - Each game gives an instant on-screen result, so a round is short and the queue keeps moving. - The AWS spot-shooting game shows how a sponsor's technology story can be turned into something fans play. ## Reported by - [NBA -- NBA China Games 2026: everything to know (games and NBA House dates)](https://www.nba.com/news/2026-nba-china-games-everything-to-know) - [Sands China announcement (PR Newswire, via Thailand Business News) -- NBA House in Halls A and B of Cotai Expo, NBA Inside the Game powered by AWS](https://www.thailand-business-news.com/?p=332694) ## Video - [AWS Spot-Shooting Game on an LED Court](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrIreU5yLhc) -- uploaded 2026-10-16 - [NBA House Centrepiece -- Sculpted Hands and Spherical LED Basketball](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp7gKGRNMME) -- uploaded 2026-10-11 - [Vertical-Jump Touch Wall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M9CD0I3IUI) -- uploaded 2026-10-13 - [Pick-and-Roll Defence Challenge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B4NQihe5sE) -- uploaded 2026-10-11 - [Dribble Challenge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4lBA8h5kM) -- uploaded 2026-10-12 - [Outdoor Interactive LED Basketball Court at The Venetian Macao](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AkjoLoVWO8) -- uploaded 2026-10-13 - [Holobox Player Photo Displays](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaNGz5Jtlgw) -- uploaded 2026-10-14 - [AWS Spot-Shooting Game -- Full Round](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhiEDXxUKac) -- uploaded 2026-10-10 ## Images - ![The NBA House Macao 2026 centrepiece in the Cotai Expo hall: two giant sculpted silver hands holding a spherical LED basketball that reads HOUSE Macao, under a suspended ring carrying NBA House Macao 2026 lettering](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/01.jpg) - ![A player stands on the START mark of the LED court for the AWS spot-shooting game, with a red GO screen at the base of the hoop and a hanging cube display above](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/02.jpg) - ![A player dribbles toward a glowing blue shooting spot on the LED floor while the screen beside the hoop grades the previous shot B for shot difficulty, with the AWS logo on the hanging display](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/03.jpg) - ![Two visitors in front of the vertical-jump wall, each below a column of light dots, with a side screen showing their result and an NBA China Games 2026 queue line on the floor](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/04.jpg) - ![A player slides sideways in front of a curved LED wall where a life-size virtual ball handler drives; the screen reads Stopped as the player stays in front](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/05.jpg) - ![The pick-and-roll defence screen turns red and reads Too late after the virtual ball handler gets past, with the countdown timer in the corner](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/06.jpg) - ![A player dribbles inside the circular railed platform of the dribble challenge while the curved screen above counts 56 dribbles and spectators watch from the rail](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/07.jpg) - ![The outdoor LED basketball court in front of The Venetian Macao at night, with court lines glowing in blue and magenta and an NBA China Games 2026 basketball sculpture by the facade](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/08.jpg) - ![Visitors walking across the outdoor LED court as flowing blue graphics spread under their feet, with the floodlit Venetian facade and a large screen behind](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/09.jpg) - ![A life-size Dallas Mavericks player shown in an illuminated holobox photo display in a hotel corridor, with more holobox displays lined up behind](https://mlabart.com/cases/nba-house-macao-2026/10.jpg) ## Related Pages **See also:** [Taobao 88VIP x NBA - NBA China Games 2025, Macao -- Robotic-Arm Basketball and Lucky Ball Game for Taobao 88VIP](https://mlabart.com/work/taobao-88vip-nba-house-macao-2025/) | [NBA - BEYOND Expo 2025, Macau -- Shooting Game, Robotic-Arm Sculpture and Anniversary Installation](https://mlabart.com/work/nba-beyond-macau/) --- **MLABART** -- Interaction - Imagination - Innovation MLABART is an interactive installation and interactive software development studio.
