Virtual Reality Theater in Forbidden City
Case study
The VR theater, constructed inside the Forbidden City, can reproduce the site's historical appearance thanks to Barco's three-channel Galaxy WARP DLPTM projection system. The three channels triple the 1280 x 1024 pixel projector resolution and provide a total light output of 15,000 ANSI lumen over the total screen surface. Using Barco's optical blending, the system delivers a single 13.5 meter-wide picture with optimal contrast ratio. By predistorting the image inside the projector with Barco’s proprietary integrated WARP, a correct geometry is achieved on the 4.2m high by 13.5m wide custom-made curved Barco screen, without requiring any additional computational power of the image generators. Through the use of proprietary bicubic interpolation algorithms, the system provides unprecedented picture quality combined with crisp detail and smoothness. And thanks to motorized blending plates on the central Galaxy WARP projector, the central channel can also be used separately allowing for projections in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
