Steinwelten at the Centre of Granite in the Bavarian Forest

©Horncolor

Right in the centre of Steinwelten („world of stones“) the visitor finds a fascinating projection onto a massive piece of excavated granite rock. Here you follow the granite back through the ages of earth to find out how it got there. Two <link http: hdav.org de projektion projektoren canon hdav-projektoren external-link-new-window external link in new>Canon XEED WUX400ST projectors are making the projection possible together with a <link internal-link internal link in current>wings engine media server with dual output who serves for the playback.

<link internal-link internal link in current>AVIO controls the DMX light and the KNX bus for the electrical system. Using a touch interface the whole functionality and operating states can be controlled easily.

There are three stations with self-activating content. The playback comes from <link internal-link internal link in current>FHD players which are all synchronised through the master slave mode. The content also depends and reacts to the main content played through the <link internal-link internal link in current>AVIO network.

Thin slices of stone are shown through two back projections with Optoma short distance projectors in a walk-in caleidoscope that leads the visitor through the history of earth.

An interactive elevator ride back to the „earth’s surface“, takes the visitor back to reality (in this case: the rest of the exhibtition) – the elevator consisting of a vibrating plate controlled by a <link internal-link internal link in current>SC Master and two displays with playback coming from two synchronised <link internal-link internal link in current>FHD players.
