the ‘5D miracle tour’ immersive screen environment, created by sharp for huis ten bosch theme park

electronics manufacturers sharp has created an immersive visual space in its ‘5D miracle tour’ project, opening at the huis ten bosch theme park in nagasaki, japan.

the installation is comprised of 156 60-inch LCD television screens tiled on the floor, walls, and ceiling, creating an immersive space. the front wall, ceiling, and floor feature 36 screens while the left and right walls are composed of 24. all monitors are controlled by a single image transmission system.

the television model used, sharp’s ‘PN-V601‘, was released last year with the world’s thinnest frame, measuring 2.4mm on the right side and bottom and 4.1mm on the left and top. designed for use in video walls, the small bezel width between LCD panels provides for nearly seamless viewing.

opening to the public on friday, april 29th, the ‘5D miracle tour’ will debut featuring an 8-minute HD film of the story of sirena, a mermaid legend from saipan.
