This newly-opened facility in the capital of Jilin Province features the country’s largest exhibition zones, as well as the most advanced scientific and audio-visual technologies to be deployed in a museum in China. Comprising three floors, the turtle-shaped building is built by a renowned Chinese architect and showcases hundreds of plans, photographs, animated urban models and diagrams. They illustrate the history of Changchun’s city building and development, and visions for the immediate and far away future. Among the highlights is a multimedia exhibit comprising projections on a massive sand table, curved screen and ceiling, which has a total area of about 1,100 square meters.
Installed and commissioned by Wincomn Technology, more than 10 Christie WU14K-M 3DLP®projectors are used to deliver an eye-catching projection depicting the intricate urban planning process in Changchun on the gigantic round-shaped sand table measuring 28 meters in diameter, while bright and detailed images on the circular ceiling are accomplished using Christie HD14K-M 3DLP projectors mounted within the ceiling’s structure. The 36-meter wide, 11-meter high curved screen in front of the sand table is lit using Christie Roadie HD+35K 3DLP projectors, providing visitors with dazzling visuals and a highly immersive experience.
“The large-scale multimedia exhibit is a hemispherical three-dimensional space - the main attraction being the gigantic sand table projection that showcases Changchun’s intelligent urban planning process in great detail, and this is complemented by projected visuals on the massive curved screen and ceiling,” said Tony Chen, General Manager, Wincomn Technology. “This is a highly complex and unique sand table setup which is unprecedented in China, and we are proud to be able to deliver stunning visuals using Christie’s high performance and dependable M Series and Roadie Series projectors.”
