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.”

| Eye tracking AI Aquarium from ITRI helps visitors identify fish species |
|
| It can take a while for visitors to identify the species of fish they’re looking at in an
aquarium – trying to match them up with information on an information panel can take time
and isn’t always straightforward. Now a new aquarium by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) helps by exhibiting marine life information in real time
according to visitors’ line of sight. |
