3D / 4D
Creating a prince isn’t easy, as The Witch discovers THE WITCH
Stereodome Pictures, based in LA, has launched a 4D experience called The Witch. The humorous family fi lm is about a witch who wants to use magic to create her prince, but instead fi nds herself on an exciting journey which she has to survive. The 11-minute fi lm opens this spring and includes leg ticklers, 3 DOF motion, water spray, vibration, being blasted from different directions and seat pokes.
VISITORS CAN SEE GRAPHIC VISUALISATIONS OF THE MUMMY’S FACE AND SKELETON, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY REMAINED ENCASED WITHIN HIS COFFIN
MUMMY: THE INSIDE STORY – SECRETS OF THE TOMB T
he insides of an ancient Egyptian mummy can now be seen via 3D projection at the British Museum’s
new international exhibition tour Mummy: the Inside Story – Secrets of the Tomb. Currently on display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, US, the 3D expe- rience focuses on one of the British Museum’s most intriguing ancient arte- facts – the mummy of Nesperennub, an ancient Egyptian priest who died in approx- imately 800 BC. More than 100 artefacts from the British
Museum’s Egyptian collection feature in an immersive fi lm using a 3D stereoscopic 4K resolution visualisation system. This allows visitors to decipher Egyptian symbols, dis- cover the embalmers’ secrets and explore the inside of the mummy’s body. Non-invasive x-ray and Computerised
Tomography (CT) scanning techniques are used to look inside the mummy without dis- turbing its wrappings in any way.
58 The experiment provided an insight into
the complex mummifi cation process and Nesperennub’s life in ancient Egypt, while also allowing museum staff to reconstruct his facial features. Independent technol- ogy and media consultancy Visual Acuity was then engaged to advise on a 3D thea- tre display, which allows visitors to see graphic visualisations of the mummy’s face and skeleton, despite the fact that they remained encased within his coffi n. Projection and display technologies
show graphic representations of the outer coffi n, the cartonnage case that sits inside it and holds Nesperennub’s remains, the skeleton and the jewellery with which the body was adorned prior to embalming plus a detailed representation of his face. The show is narrated by actor Patrick
Stewart and covers many new discoveries. The exhibition will be on display in Virginia until March before travelling to the Brisbane Queensland Museum in Australia. ●
