1000-Year-Old Runestone Converted into a Digital Projection Wonder

Museums — especially history museums — often have a heavy fourth dimension keep incorporating new technology into their sedate exhibits . That is , museums that do n’t happen to be in Randers , Denmark .

You see , in Denmark , even exhibits about the history and translation of 1000 - yr - older rune can hope for digitally design augmentation . This runic Harlan F. Stone , when approached by a visitor , get down a story — excruciating , trigger-happy , dramatic , etcetera — spectacularly projected onto the stone ’s coarse-textured surface . The outcome is cool , but that ’s not the end of it . As the story continues , the projection give the boundary of the stone , and enters the area of the visitor , where it beg for their input .

Watch for yourselves , and test not to weep next time you ’re trudging through the silent , static aisle of your local history museum . On display now at the Cultural History Museum in Randers , Denmark , courtesy of the University of Aarhus . [ CAVI Digital Experience — Thanks , Jonas ]
