It is the venue at which the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as various other major events, will be held. A projection system has been installed that enables a 360-degree visual experience in addition to the stage.
The system will enhance the Expo through a futuristic illumination experience immerses visitors in a world created by various performances and visuals including musical performances and dances beyond the stage.

Applying Light to Life

Light can showcase, decompose, clean, and pattern.
Light is full of potential.
To take on an ever-changing future with light, we aim to create a “future society for our lives”
through 360-degree projection mapping and UV light disinfection technology.
It is 55 years since our search light shone out from the Tower of the Sun as the symbol of Expo ’70.
Just as that light was brimming with dreams and hopes, light will once again be cast on an unknown world from here.

EXPO Hall “Shining Hat”

Inside the venue, A total of 16 projectors have been installed.
The entire venue will be filled with visuals created by projection mapping from 3 projectors on the floor, 4 on the ceiling, and 9 on the walls.
Additionally, three projection mapping projectors will be installed outside of the exterior wall of The EXPO Hall “Shining Hat”.
The projectors are 3-chip DLP* RGB pure laser projectors with 50,000 ISO lumen optical output.
They feature high resolution projection images and outstandingly wide colour gamut and are designed to be almost silent at only 55dBA or lower (at maximum brightness) so guests will not notice their noise.

*A method that produces an image through reflection using a micro mirror device (DMD). The 3-chip method uses a designated DMD chip for each colour: red (R), green (G) and blue (B).
