This paper analyzes the advantages and trends of holographic projection technology and the characteristics of large sports performance arrangement using the method of literature, aiming at providing new ideas for the performance arrangement, thus facilitating new artistic system of large sports performance in modern times. Results show that the technology of holographic projection gets rid of the tedious steps in the past computer programming, overcomes the design flaws of 3D computer graphic simulation with its unique 360 - degree holographic imaging, and presents a more realistic three - dimensional image whose effect is closer to actual practice. It provides with a better idea of arrangement of large opening and closing ceremonies as well as large sports performances.
