The stunning 2D and 3D visuals displayed on the surrounding screen are achieved by 20 Christie DWU7062-GS laser projectors, delivering an astounding 16K super-resolution. Christie’s trusted partner, Liancheng Digital, supplied, commissioned and installed the projectors. This landmark setup, which boasts 3D positioning and tracking functions, is the first of its kind built by a Chinese university. It optimises talent training and creates new opportunities for experiential learning.
“This cutting-edge facility features advanced projection and 3D interactive technologies, and is poised to transform the way our students learn and engage with virtual environments,” associate professor Zhongding Jiang says.
“With Christie’s high-performance GS Series and our technological expertise in immersive VR systems, we are confident that this facility will empower our students to explore new frontiers of knowledge and creativity.”
To ensure impeccable image quality and stability, the department collaborated closely with Liancheng Digital throughout the design, installation and commissioning stages. Highlighting the advantages of the Christie DWU7062-GS projectors, Zhongding says: “Their compact footprint allowed for strategic placement to accommodate two columns within the laboratory while ensuring optimal heat dissipation. Additionally, during the commissioning stage, meticulous calibration was performed on the projectors’ internal optical path, brightness and colour consistency. These efforts were crucial in ensuring that the VR system consistently delivers impeccable image clarity and uniformity on the screen.”
Featuring laser illumination, the Christie GS Series eliminates the need for lamp and filter replacements, providing 20,000 hours of low-cost operation. Wireless connectivity, a small footprint, low weight, whisper-quiet operation and a full range of lenses make them ideal for demanding, high-use applications.
Select models come with onboard Christie Twist warping and blending software and Christie Mystique automated camera-based alignment tools, making setup, alignment, recalibration and maintenance of multi-projector systems quick and easy.
