Xibitz collaborated with Hornall Anderson to transform over 6,000 square feet of space at Skydeck Chicago into an immersive experience for visitors. The new queue experience educates and entertains visitors as they learn about Chicago from entry to exit through three major interactive exhibits exploring the city's history, architecture, and culture.

Xibitz worked with Cincinnati Children's Hospital to design dynamic sculptures and displays using hundreds of feet of plasma screens to communicate the hospital's vision, engage visitors, and celebrate scientific discovery. Xibitz partnered with Eli Lilly, HOK,
