The Luanda Science Centre (CCL) in Angola is deploying Christie technology to engage visitors with a series of immersive educational experiences.
An auditorium at the CCL has been equipped with two Christie Griffyn 4K35-RGB pure laser projectors and Vive Audio speakers to deliver impactful educational content, while eight Christie D20WU-HS 1DLP laser projectors are powering a permanent outdoor video mapping attraction on the building’s facade.
The 146-seat auditorium features a 180 sq meter screen with more than 12 million pixels. Special effects include vibration, water and air, which are synchronised with the on-screen content to increase immersion.
Jordi Mollà, AV engineer at consultant for Swiss AG, MUSE, which was involved in the project, says: “The Vive Audio speakers have great performance with very low distortion, making them ideal for complementing the visual experience of the big screen.”
Outside the CCL, eight Christie D20WU-HS 1DLP laser projectors have been installed discreetly in ventilated watertight cabinets to create a 114m-wide by 11m-high canvas on the building’s facade.

“Christie technology has contributed to transforming this space into a true centre of excellence, creating a cutting-edge immersive experience for visitors,” says Mollà. “The Luanda Science Centre has established itself as a benchmark in education and entertainment in Africa, backed by an advanced technological infrastructure that is unique in the world.”
The auditorium is also equipped with Dolby Atmos with 32 audio channels, powered by 34 Christie Vive Audio speakers and nine Powersoft Quattrocanali series amplifiers.
