Christie® GS Series 1DLP® laser projectors are delivering vivid and lifelike visuals in a new dome theatre located in Xiong’an New Area, a sustainable city in Hebei province, China, developed by the government to prioritise “green development and environmental protection”.
Known as the Five Senses Bubble, it is the first dome theatre in the fledgling city and is situated along Luosa Street in Rongcheng County, which has been earmarked for cultural and community development under the ‘Harmony Life’ theme. With a diameter of 8.5m and a height of 6.3m, the Five Senses Bubble is constructed using air-film reinforced concrete, while its exterior is adorned with golden spirals to create artistic effects that represent the different senses. It opened in January 2021.
Inside, the visuals are powered by five Christie DWU8902-GS 1DLP laser projectors fitted discreetly around the dome theatre to display highly immersive images measuring 3.2m in height.
The projectors are installed and commissioned by Zhongqing Yingye Group, which was appointed the distributor of Christie’s 1DLP projection systems in 2020. April Qin, director of sales, Enterprise, Christie China, commented, “Kudos to Guangzhou Zhaocheng Electronic Technology for completing this amazing dome installation with our tried-and-tested Christie GS Series, which is the go-to projection system that offers brilliant colour and premium image quality. This is a great combination of technology and culture that provides a highly immersive visual experience for all visitors.”

attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
