China - Christie reports that its partners, Jianye Display and Shanghai Qingying Digital Technology, have deployed more than 100 Inspire Series 1DLP laser projectors across multiple exhibition halls at the new Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum. The installations deliver vibrant, high-impact visuals that transform the museum into an interactive journey of scientific discovery with a distinctly futuristic feel.
Located in Guangming District, the museum is themed around Digital Civilisation, with architecture inspired by a giant spacecraft. Its flexible, open spaces house four permanent halls featuring 950 exhibits, over 80% of which are interactive. Since its opening, the museum has drawn more than one million visitors in just three months, establishing itself as a leading hub for science popularisation in Shenzhen and a benchmark for innovation nationwide.
On level three, the Mysteries of Mind and Body, Digital Art and Communications Technology Pavilion bring science to life through special-shaped projection, immersive displays, and interactive projection mapping. In Mysteries of Mind and Body, highlights include Embracing Nature – an ultra-wide 15,200 x 4,000mm display powered by Christie DWU960-iS projectors – and the interactive Big Monster Projection, featuring a 6,435 x 2,600mm image using DWU860-iS projectors. These exhibits invite visitors to explore scientific concepts by interacting with natural landscapes or game-like environments.
In the Digital Art zone, the Geometry in Nature exhibit, driven by DWU860-iS projectors, showcases the beauty of geometric patterns in the natural world. Interactive touchscreens encourage visitors to delve deeper into the relationship between mathematics and nature. In the Communications Technology Pavilion, the Future Communications Theatre employs multiple 8,500-lumen DWU860-iS projectors to deliver high-resolution, vividly coloured visuals that remain crisp even under ambient light. Eight additional exhibits in this zone use DWU760-iS projectors to highlight advancements in communication technologies.
“We are privileged to participate in this landmark project,” said a representative from Jianye Display. “The project team successfully addressed various technical challenges presented by the diverse integration requirements of the exhibits, achieving a result that met expectations. The Christie projectors delivered exceptional brightness, contrast, and stability, ensuring each exhibit met the high visual standards required for this venue.”
Han Kim, vice-president for sales, Asia-Pacific, Christie said: “We are honoured to work with Jianye Display and Shanghai Qingying on this significant project. The Inspire Series has become a trusted solution for museums and science venues thanks to its exceptional image quality, reliability, and ease of maintenance. This installation is a testament to how Christie technology can enhance knowledge sharing and create inspiring immersive experiences for the public.”
