CHALLENGE
The National Holocaust Centre and Museum commemorates a dark period in world history. By telling the stories of the survivors in a compelling way, the Centre provides a permanent memorial to the victims and survivors while also raising understanding and awareness of the problems of contemporary hate crimes. Technology was used to capture testimonies from survivors and present them through an interactive lifesize 3D image. The ‘survivor’ sits in a small room in the Centre and responds to visitors’ questions.
Working with design agency Bright White and interactive developer D3t, Electrosonic was responsible for developing a presentation system that would be as lifelike as possible. The relatively small room space meant that an innovative projection system would be essential. The presentation drew on more than 1000 testimonies and had to be capable of responding with minimal delay to questions from visitors of any age with an appropriate story.
