The MSG Sphere in Las Vegas is currently a global sensation, wowing audiences with its stunning naked-eye 3D effects. What many don't realize, however, is that long before its debut, Shanghai's Metro City in China had already pioneered the world's first naked-eye 3D giant spherical display, putting it at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology! Rather than MSG Sphere initiating the era of 3D spherical displays, it's merely following in the footsteps of Metro City, the true "originator."
The World's First Naked-Eye 3D Dome: Metro City's Forward-Thinking Innovation
Located in Shanghai, China, Metro City's iconic 41.2-meter-diameter giant crystal sphere holds cherished memories for generations of locals. As early as 2022, Metro City's crystal sphere underwent a groundbreaking upgrade. It replaced its original LED light strips with 3888 pieces of 4K high-definition display panels, transforming it into the world's first naked-eye 3D dome and simultaneously kicking off the "Metro Metaverse" initiative. In contrast, the MSG Sphere didn't officially launch until 2023. This clearly demonstrates Metro City's proactive approach and global leadership in naked-eye 3D dome technology.
Mightary (MR LED): The Mastermind Behind the "Metro Metaverse"
The significant upgrade of Metro City's crystal sphere was made possible by Mightary (MR LED), a leading enterprise in China's LED display industry. As the supplier for the "Metro Metaverse" giant LED dome, Mightary (MR LED) leveraged its exceptional technical prowess to overcome immense challenges. Against all odds, they successfully completed the installation of 3000 square meters of display panels within a mere 60 days, bringing this colossal crystal sphere to life. This project was also successfully listed among the Top Ten LED Display Application Cases of 2022, fully showcasing Mightary (MR LED)'s leading position and innovative capabilities in the LED display field.
A Masterpiece of Engineering Ingenuity
Technological Breakthrough: Mightary (MR LED) replaced the original light strips with 3888 4K high-definition display panels, increasing the dome's clarity by 20 times and achieving breathtaking naked-eye 3D effects. The total screen area reaches 3000 square meters.
Color Restoration: Mightary (MR LED) employed the internationally leading K-means algorithm technology for color restoration, enhancing the grayscale levels by 170% and achieving 1.6 billion colors, resulting in a more delicate and realistic visual presentation.
Laser Interaction: Metro City also installed six laser devices inside the sphere. Through digital programming, these lasers interact with the screen's visuals, a pioneering domestic innovation that delivers an immersive visual feast to passersby.
Intelligent Adjustment: The spherical display features Mightary (MR LED)'s latest advanced technology, ensuring complete transparency during the day to preserve the building's aesthetic. At night, the LED light-emitting diodes automatically adjust their brightness based on ambient light and visibility, guaranteeing optimal visual comfort.
With the launch of its "Version 3.0" crystal sphere, Metro City has not only solidified its status as a Shanghai landmark but also furthered its exploration of integrating technology with popular IPs to create a new "Metro Metaverse." This initiative points the way for future commercial complexes to embrace technological advancement and deliver immersive experiences.
