LED Digital Technology Lights Up Smart Museum

In recent years, many museums in China have accelerated the digital construction, not only iteratively updated the exhibition form and cultural relics protection, but also promoted the optimization and upgrading of operation management and Exhibition viewing experience, attracting more and more people to participate online and "punch in" offline.

During his visits to many places, General Secretary Xi also attached great importance to the construction of local museums. He pointed out that "museums are an important palace for protecting and inheriting human civilization, a bridge connecting the past, present and future, and play a special role in promoting exchanges and mutual learning among world civilizations."

Nowadays, the "Museum fever" is heating up. Relevant data show that during the 13th Five Year Plan period, national museums held more than 20000 exhibitions every year, and the number of national museums increased from 4692 to 5788. On average, one museum was completed and opened every two days.

Digital technology "resurrects" historical relics and builds a communication bridge

"Museum + high technology" not only makes those ancient objects that have been sleeping for thousands of years "live" in front of modern people, but also brings different exhibition experience to more and more people. Go to places that are "impossible" and see things that are "invisible".

The Palace Museum previously held a high-tech interactive art exhibition "Qingming Riverside map 3.0", which integrates ancient painting art with modern ultra-high definition digital technology. The audience walked into the bustling Northern Song Dynasty capital Bianliang along Zhang Zeduan's strokes, shuttled between the towers, boated on the Bianhe River, watched people coming and going on both sides of the Strait, and watched waterfowl passing over the canopy. Immersed in it, there is a taste of "people swimming in the painting".

For another example, some museums use virtual technology to digitally display the full picture of cultural relics. The audience only needs to slide their fingers on the screen to watch the cultural relics from a close distance and all angles, hold the history still in the exhibition cabinet, sealed in the warehouse and dissipated in the past in their hands, and observe the fine marks left by each time in 360 degrees.

For another example, with the help of VR technology and interactive equipment, Guangdong Museum allows tourists to place themselves in the virtual scene of the wreck site of "Nan'ao No. 1" and "touch" the cultural relics on board. At the special exhibition of the 40th anniversary of the archaeological excavation of Fuhao tomb in Yin Ruins in 2016, the capital museum also used VR technology to lead the audience to "return" to the archaeological excavation site of Fuhao tomb and have a panoramic view of the tombs with six floors up and down and up to 7.5m deep.

"There is no doubt that scientific and technological means can help museum exhibitions and enable people to better contact and understand cultural relics." according to fan Jialing, deputy director of the museum development research center of Capital Normal University and head of the archaeological observation station, the development of science and technology has brought great help to the promotion of Museum exhibition. The use of different scientific and technological means such as virtual reality and interactive devices, It breaks through the single dimensional limitation of cultural relics, makes cultural relics and national treasures "live" and "speak", and enables people to better understand and understand cultural relics and their values and cultural connotation.

LED display application + digital technology to start the historical "roaming" journey

Rich cultural relics and exhibits display means also bring more opportunities to LED display. For example, the electronic sand table with touch function, in addition to the dynamic and static display of video, pictures and text on the LED screen, can also allow visitors to choose their own visit content and have an in-depth understanding through human-computer interaction.

The popular XR virtual studio in recent years can also be used for museum display. The two-sided, three-sided or even multi-sided virtual space built through the LED display can build an immersive and realistic on-site experience, so that visitors can see the "real and vivid" Scene recovery instead of just relying on words and pictures and imagination.

Moreover, in addition to making up for the defects of physical exhibits that are not easy to transport, digital display means also has its unique application advantages. For example, an ancient painting with a small scale may be difficult to see the details of the painting with the naked eye alone. Combined with 4K, 8K and other ultra-high-resolution technical means, every detail of the picture can be enlarged on the LED screen to meet the display needs of allowing more visitors to watch at the same time and understand more details of the picture.

In fact, LED light source also needs to be applied in museum lighting design. As a new light source, LED light source can be equipped with lighting system to make the light use and control of the museum more intelligent and efficient. At the same time, different angles of lights can be set according to the needs of different exhibits to achieve the best display effect and maximize the utilization of light. Multi angle precise light distribution to restore wonderful artistic details.

The vigorous development of museums is an important direction of China's cultural industry. It will also become a key industry in the construction of spiritual civilization in the future. With the diversification of display means, LED display technology will also play a greater application value.
