Christie 4K10-HS 1DLP laser projectors are delivering imagery at the new flying theatre attraction at Hetou Old Street scenic area in Tangshan, Hebei province. This experience takes visitors on an aerial journey through northern China’s most iconic sites, including the ancient Great Wall, the Shanhaiguan Pass, and the Chengde Mountain Resort.
Known as “Flyover Hebei”, this 5D dome theatre combines visuals with 7.2-channel surround sound, six-axis mechanical seats, synchronised motion effects and sensory elements like wind and mist, fully immersing audiences in the experience of soaring above Hebei’s majestic landscapes. By highlighting 20 landmarks and attractions across 11 cities, this multi-sensory adventure offers a flight through the province’s heritage and natural beauty.
Christie’s partner, Jianye Display, supplied the 4K10-HS laser projectors for “Flyover Hebei,” while Shenzhen Guandu Technology served as the systems integrator and subcontractor responsible for constructing the flying theatre.
A total of eight 4K10-HS projectors were strategically deployed to display 6K-by-6K resolution visuals on the theatre’s spherical screen measuring 16 metres (52 feet) in diameter.
The projection system design underwent meticulous simulation and analysis to achieve perfect alignment of projectors on the dome’s 400-square-metre (4,306-square-foot) spherical surface. The outcome is blended 6K visuals that fully immerse up to 45 guests within the theatre’s 17-metre (55-foot) high space.
