The Norwegian Olympic Museum in Lillehammer, Norway was opened by H.M Queen
of Norway at a prestigious ceremony in February 2016. The Museum is a showcase
for adventurous video installations, curated exhibits of cultural and historic artefacts
and Olympic memorabilia.

What makes the Norwegian Olympic Museum a must-see attraction for all is
Lysgaardsbakkene roughly translated as “Jump Hills’. It forms the centrepiece; a
large-scale circular raised-platform interactive model measuring 3.5 meters in
diameter, the Olympic jump hills. Local systems integrator Bright Norway achieved
a true to life interactive presentation using AV Stumpfl® Wings Engine Raw
uncompressed 4K media servers and Wings VIOSO calibration software to manage
and warp native video content across 4 edge-blended projectors.

Bright Norway was also responsible for multimedia and presentation equipment for
large-scale video projections throughout the Museum. All multimedia content was
created by Centre Screen, London and all exhibit areas designed by Mather & Co.

“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.

Museums are made memorable not just by the knowledge they impart, but by how
that knowledge is presented and made interesting to the many generations that
come through its doors. The content itself primarily came from the IOC multimedia
library and Norwegian Broadcasting Archives.

“The designs follow a Nordic feel and reflect the Northern Lights along with slopes
and the ice of the ski jump in Lillehammer. There are blues and greens that fitted
into the exhibit design by Mather & Co. Our work feeds into that overall design and
celebration of the Olympic games taking place in Norway Oslo 1952 and
Lillehammer 1994,’ said Paul Kucharski, Creative Director at Centre Screen.

Elsewhere in the Museum, a large-scale 5.5-meter wide by 1.5 meter high AV wall
display shows 2D animations of the Ancient Games. Furthermore a 6.8-meter wide
by 1.5 meter high 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 measuring 14.5-meters
wide by 2.7 meters high. Again Wings VIOSO software was used here to blend and
align all projectors.

Tobias Stumpfl, CEO of AV Stumpfl, said: “We are excited to be part of a project
very near and dear to the people of Norway. Interactive learning and studying is of
the highest importance these days where everyone is used to a high level of
multimedia entertainment. The effective way in which Bright has deployed our
Wings Engine Raw servers ensures a future-proof solution for future generations to
enjoy on each and every visit.’

The creative team at Centre Screen included Paul Kucharski (Creative Director),
Hayley Walsh (Executive Producer), Daniel Lusby (Senior Motion Designer), Fiona
Williams (Audio-visual Producer) and Daniele Baron (Multimedia Producer).
