'First-of-a-kind 3D curved Sony Crystal LED system' installed
www.avinteractive.com: A 32 ft by 9ft curved 8K Sony Crystal LED direct-view display system forms the centrepiece of a first-of-its-kind Crystal LED installation for 3D simulation in the aerospace arena.
The display, which is one of the few curved Crystal LED walls in existence, has an extra-wide aspect ratio which required special programming to ensure that complex CAD models can be displayed in their native format.

Now I’ve always loved the ride soarin over california as can be enjoyed at a little known theme park called Disney Land in the town of Anaheim in the southerly regions of the great state called California. It is a truly magical experience and you get the chance to see wonderful, beautiful, awe-inspiring visuals of some of CA’s greatest hits and landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, or lake tahoe, or the deserts, or endless rows of fields growing the nation’s great food supply. That ride is built over a huge screen like the one pictured in this marvelous article, but if this is the first of its kind the soarin over California thing must be some sort of projection or perhaps it is just smaller than 30 feet. I last went on it when I was a very much younger child so I remember it being larger than it probably is.
This technology seems like it has uses in a lot of different industries. As Jermey stated above, I too have always loved Disney's Soarin' Over California. I actually think I wrote a comment on it just a couple weeks ago. I could absolutely see this technology being used in a ride like that. On top of the theme park industry, I can see this technology being used for other immersive entertainment experiences, education, and even in the public sector as this article talks about. I love how cryptic the article has to be though. It states that, "it [the technology described in the article] was installed for an unnamed large government contractor in the aerospace sector which needed an advanced visualisation and simulation environment for internal and external design briefings." That doesn't sound sketchy at all... All in all, I think this technology is something we will see more widely used as it becomes more cost effective to implement and more easily accessible.
I thought curved screens were so overkill, until I accidentally ended up with my own. I did my gaming PC setup last year, and was looking for monitors on Facebook Marketplace. There was a guy desperate to sell his white, 32” curved monitor for like $200-300 less than it was worth, so obviously I bought it. Now having used one, I’m a huge fan. The fact that Sony has been able to scale this up into an entire 32’ long wall is wild to me. I am trying to imagine the kinds of things one could do with this tech, aside from the aerospace design briefings mentioned in the article, especially since the engineers added real-time position monitoring of the user. The potential it has for changing entertainment experiences is huge. If companies like Disney and Universal have not already integrated this kind of thing into their themed dark rides, restaurants, etc… I would certainly expect them to jump on that train soon.
