Christie GS Series 1DLP laser projectors have been deployed to power a new upgrade at the Chaoyang Paleontological Museum in Liaoning Province, China.
As part of a major revitalisation project spearheaded by the Chaoyang municipal government, the museum now delivers a journey through prehistoric time with interactive displays made possible by 22 Christie DWU880-GS projectors.
Christie’s trusted partner Jianye Display was responsible for the projection design and systems integration of the projectors spanning six themed zones.
Ju Li, project manager, Jianye Display, commented: “We are thrilled to bring the ancient prehistoric world to life using the proven performance of the Christie GS Series in the upgraded museum. The exceptional image quality and rock-solid reliability of the GS Series enabled us to craft an immersive and awe-inspiring experience that enthralls visitors of all ages. With Christie’s advanced projection technology, we’re able to reimagine fossil culture through the lens of modern innovation and storytelling.”
April Qin, senior sales director for China, Christie, said: “We’re honored to contribute to such a meaningful cultural and scientific initiative. The Christie DWU880-GS projector, with its outstanding color reproduction, compact design, and 24/7 reliability, is perfectly suited for museum environments. It’s incredibly rewarding to see our technology contributing to such a meaningful project that connects people with the wonders of natural history.”
In the museum’s main entrance hall, four DWU880-GS laser projectors bring to life the ancient world of the Jehol Biota across a dramatic 22-meter (72-foot) curved screen. The screen is suspended from above.
Another highlight is the Waterfall Projection experience zone, where visitors walking through the area trigger bursts of digital water and foliage movement. Four strategically installed Christie DWU880-GS projectors were fitted for this zone.
Further along, in the Magic Brush interactive zone, visitors become digital artists. A 32-inch touchscreen paired with a DWU880-GS projector allow them to colour dinosaurs and instantly see their creations brought to life on a 6.4-meter-wide (21-foot) wall.
In the Cretaceous Dinosaur projection zone, six DWU880-GS projectors create panoramic scenes of dinosaurs in motion. Adjacent to this is the Translucent Gauze projection zone, where a ceiling-mounted DWU880-GS projector has been fitted.
Finally, the Glowing Dragon Walk experience zone enables guests to stroll alongside animated prehistoric creatures across a large-scale floor projection, made possible with five DWU880-GS projectors.
