｜NMMST 8K Ocean Theater
In the lobby, the blue tone decoration and the jelly-fish chandelier welcome our audience to enter the ocean world. Inside the theater, the big blue bubble lighting circles around the wall, which enhances the oceanic atmosphere and provides audience an amazing way to enjoy the wonder ocean world and satisfy their curiosity.
Since 2021, under the support of the Delta Electronics Foundation, the Ocean theatre was renovated and became the 8K theater. The high performance projection system produced by Delta is used, and this is the first one 8K resolution laser projector in Taiwan. With the advanced 8K technology and sound system, the theater can provide the audience a wonderful experience and increase their curiosity of the Ocean.
In addition, the Delta Electronics Foundation also authorize the NMMST to play the movies “Water with Life (8K)”, “Swimming with Humpback Whale (8K)” and “Life in the Coral Reefs (8K)” in the Ocean Theater. These movies can expand the audience’s vision of marine science, environment protection and natural ecology.
In order to provide visitors with a sense of entering the ocean from the moment they step into the theater lobby, the overall design is centered around a blue color scheme, complemented by jellyfish-shaped lights hanging from the ceiling, creating a fresh and lively atmosphere. Inside the theater, a deep blue ocean ambiance is created, with projected images of ocean waves and bubbles on the walls, immediately immersing visitors in a strong maritime atmosphere.
In terms of the interior facilities of the theater, each screening can accommodate approximately 300 visitors. The theater features a giant screen that is approximately 22 meters high and 29 meters wide.
