Christie 4K10-HS 1DLP laser projectors have been installed to deliver immersive visuals 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 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.
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 meters in diameter.
Xing Zhong, project manager, Shenzhen Guandu Technology, commented: “The Christie 4K10-HS laser projectors were selected for their compact footprint, 4K UHD resolution, and impressive color performance thanks to Christie BoldColor Technology. These projectors allowed us to deliver high-quality imagery and vivid, natural colors to make the audience feel like they are flying over Hebei’s exciting landscapes.”
The projection system design underwent simulation and analysis to achieve perfect alignment of projectors on the dome’s 400-square-meter spherical surface.
April Qin, senior sales director for China, Enterprise, Christie, concluded: “We’re proud to see the Christie 4K10-HS projectors powering this remarkable experience. Flyover Hebei exemplifies how Christie’s advanced 1DLP projection technology seamlessly merges art, technology, and culture. As the attraction continues to captivate audiences, our 4K10-HS projectors play a crucial role in delivering an unforgettable journey through Hebei's breathtaking landscapes.”
