The Challenge

The performance's outdoor projection, especially water as the part of the stage, faced high humidity and moisture - posing significant challenges for waterproof reliability and durability. Meanwhile, projection on a 170-meter waterfront platform, which is capable of 360° rotation, required meticulous fine-tuning of the projected content to match each building’s rotation, angle, ensuring distortion-free, three-dimensional effects.
