Naeba Japan's 'Color Mountain' venture is a groundbreaking ski hill project. The [psychedelic technicolor display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation) is entrancing, effortlessly cascading along the snow-capped peaks of the mountains. This impressive display represents a two-year collaboration between the Australian design experts at [ENESS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape) and Tokyo's inhabitant label who were unfortunately inhibited by the 2011 Japanese earthquake. The duo decided to follow through with the plan despite the impact of the horrific events, eventually executing an incredible artistic take on the sport. Color Mountain features an array of electric green, blue and red patterns. This design is also interactive, making use of an [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duckduckgo-4) application that allows viewers to control the visuals throughout the show's progression. The hands-on approach here is novel, and has furthermore provided bystanders with the opportunity to interact with athletes in a meaningful manner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Immersive Experiences:** Technology and design combine to create interactive and visually stunning experiences for consumers. - **Interactive Sporting Events:** The integration of technology and art creates new opportunities for audience engagement and interaction at sports events. - **Artistic Sporting Venues:** Collaborations between artists and sports venues create innovative and unique experiences for patrons. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports and Entertainment:** The sports and entertainment industry can leverage technology and art to create unique and immersive experiences for fans and customers. - **Tourism:** Tourism industry can attract visitors by offering visually stunning, interactive and innovative experiences like the Color Mountain project. - **Technology and Design:** Advancements in technology, combined with creative design ideas, provide new opportunities for innovation and disruption for businesses in this industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mountainous Holiday Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-rusutsu.md) - [Interactive Mountain Oracles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whispering-mountains.md) - [Captivating Winter Travel Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-chinzanso-tokyo.md) - [Ultra-Colorful High-Density Residential Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design.md) - [Colorfully Patterned Bold Skiwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-collection-1.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Virtual Sakura Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamlab-forest.md) - [Contemporary Ski Home Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traditional-ski-chalet.md) - [Cultural Japa Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japa-valley.md)
