Secret Treasures" uses a high-resolution camera and the latest digital technology to create an ultra-high definition 3DCG image that is a perfect match for the real thing. When projected on a huge 8K-quality screen, the "dream viewing experience" was realized, allowing the viewer to freely and infinitely manipulate the 3DCG from anywhere in 360 degrees. The program also challenges viewers to solve art history and historical riddles using the "detailed depictions" and "traces" of the creators on the treasures as clues!
