Rockheim, Norway


V


isitors are given a fresh insight into the history of Norwegian popular music and culture through a series


of interactive spaces and exhibits at new museum Rockheim. Located inside a converted


grain warehouse in the port city of Trondheim, each of the six storeys is dedicated to a different era from the 1950s through to the present day and includes a stage for live music. Norwegian AV company


projectiondesign worked on the exhibition areas for the 1960s, 1980s and 2000s, plus a Tribute Wall that showcases artists spanning the entire period. The Tribute Wall, powered by six


projectiondesign projectors, enables visitors to ‘virtually wipe’ the image from the projection screen in front of them if it isn’t to their taste, by moving their arms. Their movements are tracked by cameras

“Rockheim uses our F12, F22 and F32 projectors as an interactive alternative to traditional ways of representing


history and culture,” says Anders Løkke, projectiondesign’s international marketing manager. “Its success shows the power of interactivity in museum engineering, as well as the power of projection in implementing it.” ●

integrator responsible for designing and installing the AV technology at the Putrajaya Cineplex, alongside contractor MintPlaza Sdn Bhd, says: “The project uses a very large 240-degrees cylindrical screen so that the audience feels truly immersed in the video content. The screen is driven by fi ve HD projectors blended together to create a single canvas more than fi ve megapixels in resolution.” The system uses uncompressed, raw video.

Delta solution was used to deliver, blend, warp and process multiple images without compression or any related loss of data integrity. “We wanted the system to be future-proof in the advent of a 3D capability being added down the line, and Delta allows for this,” says Jizam.
