Located in Xiamen Fujian, HyperTanK is a multi-dimensional, interactive realization of an educational and entertainment complex that unites interdisciplinary expertise and artists to create an immersive interstellar experience.

As our planet has been experiencing intense solar activities in recent years, our humanity is also awakening to a higher consciousness. With advancements in telescopic and photographic technologies, we can now visualize our universe more clearly than ever before. Yet, mankind's fascination with intergalactic travel continues to grow rapidly.

HyperTanK creative and client team envisioned a physical multiverse environment with cutting-edge visuals, such as spacetime abstractions, cosmic phenomena, and warp speed travel. By combining computer-generated imagery and animations on high-resolution LED panels along with customized audio resonances, guests can fully immerse themselves in interstellar expeditions through solar flares, auroras, explosions, and nebulae.

The interactive journey begins with a sequence of spatial experiences including reception boarding deck, interactive elevator chambers, multi-media grand concourse, hibernation pods, control deck, interactive HMI gaming, transportation capsules and private leisure and meditation hubs.

The investigation focuses on integrating physical and virtual dimensions through design, construction, and visual technologies. It involves organic metallic surfaces and kinetic mechanical structures for a transformative spatial experience. Specialized sound and lighting effects with abstract animations on high-resolution LED panels enhance various senses and imaginations. Extensive research was conducted to create authentic as well as artistic visualizations based on our limited understanding of the universe. We utilized numerous specialized materials such as glass-reinforced-gypsum, lacquer and textured paint, engraved stone flooring, custom perforated and stamped metal panels, metal mesh, tempered glass, ceramic tiles, and chrome and brushed stainless-steel panels. Additionally, iterations of 3D printed models were studies for finalizing panel shapes and joint details for construction.

The opening of HyperTanK in December 2023 has instantly established as one of the most sought-after destinations for guests of all ages.
