Christie powers a 360-degree immersive VR lab at a university in Shanghai

Christie® is proud to announce that its GS Series 1DLP® laser projectors are powering an innovative 360-degree immersive virtual reality lab at a prestigious national research university in Shanghai, China.

This state-of-the-art facility represents a milestone in immersive education, providing students with an unprecedented virtual reality experience. The stunning 2D and 3D visual effects displayed on the surrounding screen are achieved through 20 Christie DWU7062-GS laser projectors, delivering astonishing 16K super-resolution.

The projectors were supplied, commissioned, and installed by Christie's trusted partner, Liancheng Digital. This facility, equipped with 3D positioning and tracking capabilities, is the first of its kind developed by a Chinese university. It enhances talent development and creates new opportunities for experiential learning.
