On the grand stage of China’s night tourism revolution, a new landmark has emerged in Bazhou: a monumental 32×8 outdoor waterproof holographic video wall, stretching 18.15 meters wide and 4.71 meters tall. Composed of 256 IPX6-rated 80cm holographic fans seamlessly spliced together, this installation is not merely a display—it is an immersive visual gateway into the history, legends, and artistic soul of an ancient city. This case study explores the technology, installation, and stunning visual impact of what is likely the largest continuously operating outdoor holographic screen of its kind.
The Vision: Turning Night Tourism into a Cinematic Heritage Experience
Bazhou, with its deep historical roots, sought to move beyond static lighting and traditional projection mapping. The goal was to create a dynamic, all-weather, ultra-high-definition outdoor screen that could:
- Narrate local legends with cinematic depth and emotional resonance.
- Withstand outdoor conditions (rain, dust, temperature swings) year after year.
- Deliver a seamless, glasses-free 3D experience visible from wide viewing angles across a public plaza.
- Scale to monumental size while maintaining 4K+ image quality at close range.
The answer was a 32×8 array of our A80 IPX6 waterproof 80cm holographic fans—a system that transforms an entire building facade into a living, breathing holographic canvas.
The Solution: A 32×8 Seamless Holographic Video Wall
256 Fans, One Flawless Canvas
The installation uses 256 units of the AIHOLO A80 80cm IPX6 waterproof holographic fan, arranged in a precise 32-column by 8-row grid. Each fan offers 2048×896 resolution with a P1.719 mm micro-pixel pitch, and our patented zero-gap splicing technology eliminates any visible shadows, gaps, or black lines between units. The result is a single, continuous, ultra-high-definition 3D canvas measuring 18.15m (W) × 4.71m (H)—large enough to depict full-scale historical figures, sweeping battle scenes, and immersive cultural tableaux.
H3: Total Resolution: 65,536 × 7,168 Pixels (4K+ Aggregated)
The aggregate resolution of the wall is staggering: 65,536 horizontal × 7,168 vertical pixels, yielding a level of detail that remains sharp and grain-free even when viewed from just a few meters away. This is critical for public spaces where visitors of all ages gather close to the display.
IPX6 All-Weather Reliability
Each fan carries an IPX6 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against powerful water jets and heavy rain. The 100% aluminum alloy construction provides superior heat dissipation and long-term durability, ensuring flawless operation through Bazhou’s humid summers, rainy seasons, and winter chill.
2500 Nits Sunlight + Night Visibility
With adjustable brightness up to 2500 nits, the display remains vivid and clear even under direct sunlight, yet can be dialed down for comfortable nighttime viewing. This dual-mode capability is essential for cultural tourism sites that operate continuously from afternoon through evening.
Smart Cloud Management & Content Scheduling
All 256 fans are managed via our centralized cloud platform, allowing the operations team to:
- Schedule content to change with seasons, festivals, or special events.
- Update animations remotely without physical access.
- Monitor system health and receive alerts for any anomalies.
