The Shanghai New Art Gallery Replicates a Qingming Era Market

Upon a system administrator’s advice, the museum decided to order four of BenQ’s PX9600 projectors. The hardware’s flexible installation was a deciding factor, as the contoured walls meant that space was limited for the projections. The 360-degree tilt projection capabilities of the PX9600s allowed the hardware to be installed anywhere and still deliver high quality visuals. With a variety of lens to choose from, the Shanghai New Art Gallery curators selected ultra-wide focal lens to deliver its content without visual compromise. The 6,500 lumens high brightness also became a deciding factor, as the visuals would be presented in the crispest, clearest fashion. The true-to-life colors of the DLP projector and BenQ’s own color management system were the cherry on top of the perfect projector total package.

Using four PX9600 projectors, the museum curators were able to accurately craft the visual experience they had in mind, ultimately bringing to life the classical Chinese art of Along the River. During the Qingming Festival. Incorporating the ultra-wide angle lens as one of the many options available with the PX9600, the projectors were able to work in unison to create a large composite image projected onto contoured walls, giving the visitors a novel visual experience while simultaneously demonstrating the limitless capabilities of BenQ’s projectors. Powered by 3D projection mapping capabilities, the projector could depict realistic representations of society and the people of the Qingming period with all the vivid splendor of the era. The curators went so far as to recreate a bustling, complex marketplace that took visitors on a journey to the past. In the end, everyone working on the installation and, especially the guests, were satisfied by the project.
