To create the perfect atmosphere for the Qianlong exhibition, BenQ visual display solutions were chosen to design a diverse, multifaceted exhibition. BenQ Full HD Projectors were selected for their ability to intelligently overlap images thereby creating a seamless image. The DLP projector provides a picture quality that matches any modern theater, ultimately delivering a stunning image every time. Intelligent sensors quickly read a room’s natural ambience to find the optimal light settings, meanwhile, the sensors automatically correct any color vacations across the displays to perform accurate color matching for a more unified picture. Due to its versatility and highly flexible installation capabilities, the BenQ Ultra-Short-Throw Projectors were chosen to display large images within limited spaces.

The National Palace Museum entrusted BenQ to help create a fully immersive world, and to do that interactive flat panels and transparent displays were used to dissolve the barrier between museum guests and the artifacts. By using technology, the visitors could manipulate the exhibition to transform elements of the displays. In one segment, visitors’ clothing could be projected onto Qianlong era vases.

In the end, the National Palace Museum saw its new media art exhibition as a success. Not only did BenQ’s Visual Display Solutions provide the operators with the tools they needed to bring it all together, the hardware had a few tricks up its sleeve, and gave the curators more flexibility when designing the layout and individual sections of the exhibit. Museum curators worked closely with digital artists to create a marvelous ancient world that lived and breathed, one interactive space displayed visitors’ clothing on ancient vases thereby creating unique patterns, another encouraged guests to cosplay while their figures were projected in digital environments representative of the Qianlong era providing visitors with an experience that was likened to time travel. The Qianlong exhibition was a success because it not only provided a look at history up close, but it allowed visitors to interact with its artifacts in a whole new way. From living paintings to projection mapping, visitors were learning every step of the way and the museum was able better understand how technology could innovate and reinvigorate its massive collection for future events.
