Recently, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the archaeological excavation of the Mawangdui Han Tombs, the Hunan Museum, in collaboration with the China Digital Library and the Harvard University Chinese Art Lab led by Professor Eugene Wang, launched the "Art of Life: Immersive Digital Exhibition of Han Dynasty Culture at Mawangdui." This exhibition employs immersive digital techniques to deeply interpret the romantic imagination and eternal life philosophy behind the Han Dynasty culture of Mawangdui, aiming to vividly present the fascinating stories embedded in this cultural heritage to a global audience.

 

In the "Art of Life: Immersive Digital Exhibition of Han Dynasty Culture at Mawangdui," PCI played a crucial role by providing core audio solutions and technical support for the exhibition. The PCI team meticulously crafted a customized multi-channel immersive audio system, utilizing the Q-SYS Core 110f processor for audio processing and routing tasks, ensuring the audio system's efficiency and stability.

To create the best immersive experience, the audio system featured Q-SYS AP series two-way speakers paired with Q-SYS SB series subwoofers, delivering clear, impactful, and immersive audio experiences to the audience. Through professional calibration, the sound effects throughout the exhibition hall were significantly optimized, with every detail precisely reproduced, allowing the audience to enjoy an immersive audio experience that complements the visual feast. Additionally, the speakers were cleverly hidden behind the screens to avoid obstructing the display, providing a high-quality immersive audiovisual experience for the audience.

This collaboration with the Hunan Museum has set a new benchmark for immersive digital exhibitions and offered new perspectives and possibilities for the digital presentation of cultural heritage. Through such partnerships, PCI has further solidified its leading position in the field of immersive audio technology and provided valuable experience and references for future cultural exhibition projects.

 

This exhibition is not only a tribute to history but also opens a new path for the dissemination of cultural heritage, allowing the thoughts and artistic charm of the Mawangdui Han Tombs to transcend time and space, connecting with the world and continuing to shine brightly.
