Olympic ski jump history of Lillehammer brought to life by AV Stumpfl projection

The highlights of the Norway Olympics are remembered thanks to AV Stumpfl projection mapping.

The Norwegian Olympic Museum in Lillehammer, which opened earlier this year, showcases AV Stumpfl’s adventurous video installations, alongside curated exhibits of cultural and historic artefacts and Olympic memorabilia.

The museum centrepiece, Lysgaardsbakkene - roughly translated as ‘jump hills’ - is a large-scale circular raised-platform interactive model, 3.5m in diameter.

Local systems integrator Bright Norway created the interactive presentation using AV Stumpfl Wings Engine Raw media servers and Wings VIOSO calibration software to manage and warp video content across four projectors.

“Lysgaardsbakkene is the centre piece that visitors experience as they move through to the core of the Museum,” says Børre Linberg, head of installations at Bright Norway.

“It was a challenging space to programme because first and foremost its a functional space and a unusual circular shape with two giant jump hills that descend from the ceiling. Visitors usually spend considerable time watching the video elements during their visit.”

“We've relied on the Wings Engine Raw system, it’s a rock-solid platform and a great tool to engage audiences.”

The content itself primarily came from the IOC multimedia library and Norwegian Broadcasting Archives.

All multimedia content was created by Centre Screen, London, and all exhibit areas designed by Mather & Co.

“The designs follows a Nordic feel and reflect the Northern Lights along with slopes and the ice of the ski jump in Lillehammer," said Paul Kucharski, creative director at Center Screen.

Elsewhere in the Museum, a large-scale AV wall display shows 2D animations of the Ancient Games.

Another panoramic wall celebrates the opening ceremonies, and one of the celebrated showcases from the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, the spectacular Inside the Race, is projected onto a curved wall surface using AV Stumpfl software to blend and align all projectors.

Tobias Stumpfl, CEO of AV Stumpfl, said: “Interactive learning and studying is of the highest importance these days where everyone is used to a high level of multimedia entertainment.”
