Cultural : Shenzhen Larxu (larxu) posted on social media stating that whether red culture exhibition halls are worth deploying digital human screens should be determined based on specific scenarios. Permanent thematic halls and municipal or higher-level memorial museums receive numerous visitor batches and face insufficient interpreter staffing, making them suitable for deploying 3D holographic cabins for looped explanations, which can unify interpretation messaging, reduce manual workload, and fill round-the-clock reception gaps; however, small community exhibition rooms, temporary traveling exhibitions, or cultural relic and historical document protection areas are not recommended to blindly deploy digital human equipment, with core entrance halls advised to select 3D holographic cabins and sectional locations advised to select wall-mounted digital human screens.
