It integrates fluid dynamics, optics, acoustics, and digital creativity, using water as a “canvas” and light as a “brush” to transform the water screen into a “movie screen” floating in the air.

How It Works
The process is completed in three steps: First, a high-pressure water pump and specially designed nozzles atomize water and spray it into the air, forming a uniform, transparent, fan-shaped water curtain; next, high-brightness laser projectors project distortion-corrected video onto the water curtain; finally, the central control system synchronizes the fountains, lighting, music, and visuals with millisecond-level precision.
System Components
– Water curtain generator (nozzles): Determines the formation and smoothness of the water curtain;
– High-lumen laser projector: Key to image clarity; typically the largest cost component;
– Media server: Plays customized content and performs distortion correction;
– Supporting equipment: Sound system, master control synchronization system, and power supply for pumps, etc.

Application Scenarios
– Cultural and Tourism Night Tours: Extend visitor stay times and drive consumption, such as “Dreaming at Ling Shui Ju” in Wuzhen and the Changyu Dong Tian Water Screen Movie;
– City Squares and Waterfront Areas: Regular nighttime illumination of rivers and lakes;
– Commercial and Brand Events: Grand opening celebrations and opening performances at product launches;
– Festivals and Events: Music festivals, New Year’s Eve galas, opening and closing ceremonies.

Core Advantages
Highly immersive and naturally shareable; versatile use of a single installation—as a fountain by day and a light and sound show at night; customizable size and content; water recycling for environmental sustainability.

Cost Reference
Costs range from several thousand to several million yuan, depending on the water screen size, the number and brightness of projectors, and content production: a basic system costs several thousand yuan; a mid-range package costs tens of thousands of yuan; and a large-scale project (approximately 25 m × 18 m) costs approximately 600,000–1,000,000 yuan.

How to Choose a Service Provider
When selecting a provider, focus on real-world case studies, content customization capabilities, and whether equipment specifications (projector brightness, water screen size, protection rating) meet standards. Also, confirm installation, after-sales support, and contract maintenance terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Water screen projection shows and water screen movies are essentially the same technology, though the former places greater emphasis on the overall performance effect; they are best viewed at night; venue selection depends on the size of the water screen and can be customized for locations ranging from public squares to lake surfaces.

Conclusion
Using “water” as a screen and “light” to tell stories, water screen projection shows are a cost-effective and highly impactful visual solution for nighttime tourism and spatial enhancement, making them well worth including in your planning.
