What is phantom imaging?

Phantom imaging system (also known as virtual imaging) is based on A combination of "real-scene modeling" and "phantom" optical imaging projects captured images (people and objects) onto the main model landscape in a diorama to demonstrate the development of a story. It is vivid, illusory, and very intuitive, leaving a deep impression. It consists of a three-dimensional model scene, a modeling lighting system, an optical imaging system, a film playback system, a computer multimedia system, a sound system, and a control system, which can achieve realistic displays of large scenes, complex production lines, and large products.

Phantom imaging technology is used in museums and other public places in some developed countries in the 1990s. In recent years, some domestic museums have also begun to use phantom imaging technology to tell the public stories behind cultural relics. The phantom display system mainly consists of hardware and software such as a physical display stand (also known as a physical model), a projector or other display device, 3D special effects video, a phantom imaging film, and hydraulic and mechanical control equipment.

The principle of the phantom imaging film is that the film surface is coated with a nanoscale photosensitive coating through a vacuum magnetron sputtering coating process, so that the film maintains 99.99% high transmittance while also having high reflectivity (mirror-like appearance). The main component of the film layer is SOB, which has the function of fine and high-definition imaging, and can make the image produce a great sense of three-dimensional depth.

The advantage of phantom imaging lies in its vivid imaging and very cool 3D special effects, without the need to wear 3D glasses to achieve a realistic effect. Phantom imaging technology has been widely used abroad and has also begun to be gradually applied to various domestic museums, celebrity former residences, centuries-old towns, historic streets, theme parks, cultural heritage parks, and urban planning exhibition halls.
