iF communication design award
Special exhibition in the Württemberg State Museum, Stuttgart
The project team designed and executed an exhibition to illustrate and explain the latest high-technology methods of non-destructive examination used on a delicate original Celtic deer figure. The exhibition used digital techniques widely to show the results of archeological research: touch screens, projections, and mixed-reality applications encouraged visitors to participate actively. The exhibit was centred on a virtual showcase, an "empty" transparent cylinder, around which the visitor moves a screen to study virtual images of the original figure from all possible angles and in a variety of modes.
In a separate room of its own the original was shown in its historical cultural context.
This prize-winning exhibition gained an iF communication award in 2005 and resulted from a programme of close cooperation between the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart, the University of Technology in Aalen, and the University of Hohenheim, and was extended by public demand.
