In this unique, underground museum you enter the dark years of the occupation during the second world war. Follow the resistance movement and join the brave Danes in printing illegal magazines, tapping phones and deciphering secret messages.
The museum needed an automated solution for driving some 35 stations with projection, high resolution displays and multi-channel audio playback. PIXILAB drives Panasonic projectors, with some stations using multiple, synchronized projectors for larger areas. LG displays, with built-in Android players, present videos, slideshows and easily updated messages inside and outside the museum. For background audio, Blocks talks to a QLab system, feeding Dante speakers. Visitors use small, handheld devices for on-demand playback. These play audio in the chosen language, synchronized to video, as triggered by a QR code at each exhibit. On-site staff uses iPads to control audio levels and other presentation aspects. All user interfaces were created in Blocks.
Zebra EC30 Android devices are used for personalized, synchronized audio playback, connecting to the Blocks server over wifi. These professional grade devices, provided by the museum to all visitors, have a hardware button for triggering playback, a small camera at the front for reading the QR codes and multi-device charger racks for streamlined management.
