How BenQ Simulation Projectors Overcame Challenges in Taipei l0l's lmmersive Projection
- 2025-03-18
Standing at 508 meters tall, the Taipei 101 tower is globally recognized as an iconic landmark of architectural and engineering excellence. At its core is the world's second-largest Tuned Mass Damper (TMD)-a remarkable 660-ton spherical structure designed to stabilize the skyscraper during strong winds and earthquakes.
Taipei 101’s wind damper ball
This unique engineering structure was featured prominently during the "Dream High" exhibition, commemorating the historic "50 home runs, 50 stolen bases" MLB record set by Shohei Ohtani. For the first time, Taipei 101's wind damper ball was transformed into a giant baseball using advanced immersive projection technology.
Executing projection mapping onto such a challenging surface posed significant technical difficulties-including confined installation spaces, irregular spherical surfaces, structural cable interference, and ambient lighting from surrounding glass windows. BenQ Simulation Projectors provided targeted solutions for these complex issues, empowering system integrators with simplified installations, optimized visual quality, and reduced operational costs.
Optimized Visuals: Precision Projection for Irregular Surfaces
The Taipei 101 wind damper ball project required projecting a giant baseball onto the large, irregular spherical surface of the damper ball, with challenges from glass reflections and ambient light interference.
BenQ Simulation Projectors delivered exceptional results through advanced specifications tailored for complex immersive scenarios:
● Versatile Model Range:
Offers short-throw to standard-throw options, catering to diverse spatial needs with patented color accurate high-brightness laser technology and high resolution for detailed, lifelike visuals.
● Color Consistency Amid Glass Challenges:
Glass surfaces and ambient light posed challenges to projection clarity. BenQ's proprietary White Balance Adjustment (WBA) technology ensured color consistency, even when projecting through glass, delivering a captivating immersive experience.
● Efficient Calibration with WBA:
BenQ's Factory White Balance Adjustment (WBA) pre-calibrates projectors before shipment, ensuring consistent color accuracy across multiple devices. Achieving a Delta E of approximately 2, WBA significantly reduces on-site multi-projector calibration setup time by up to a full workday, depending on project scale.
● Flexible Multi-Angle Projection:
Supports 360° and portrait projection, simplifying alignment on the damper ball's suspended structure and eliminating extensive equipment repositioning.
These advanced specifications provide system integrators with the flexibility to address focal length and brightness requirements across museum exhibitions, commercial spaces, or architectural projections-meeting clients' creative demands with precision.
Seamless Setup: Overcoming Spatial & Structural Challenges
Seamless Setup: Overcoming Spatial & Structural Challenges
● Severely Limited Space:
Restricted projector placement in a confined environment.
● Steel Cable Interference:
