"VIRTUAL WORLD" STAGES
The new website is part of the imperial palace-turned museum's effort to move into the virtual world.
A yet-to-open 3-D cinema is in the southwestern corner hall in the yard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with black walls and red chairs.
Hu's team is producing seven 3-D documentaries, each a 20- to 30-minute film mixed with real photographs or archival footage, and special effects produced by computer.
"We are recruiting management staff now. Our top problem is to ensure the safety of the palace hall when the audience crowds in," she said.
Xu Ying, director of the museum's exhibition technology section, said the cinema is built of a removable steel structure that minimizes possible damage to the ancient wood architecture of the hall.
