| World War I stories are told at Mons Memorial Museum, Belgium |

Barco’s F32 projectors have been installed in the Mons Memorial Museum, using modern technologies to bring history to life.
High-contrast imagery, games and interactive tables are used throughout the museum – which re-opened after renovations in Mons, Belgium in April – as well as a 3D holograph, the Angel of Mons.
“The client preferred not to use 3D goggles so we came up with a sophisticated alternative including a Peppers’s ghost effect, a type of illusion technique: we made a system with different layers of projected images, which appear to the visitor as a 3D hologram,” said Nicolas Vanden Avenne, managing director at Ocular, the museum’s system integrator.
Eleven Barco F32 projectors – which can be configured according to a range of colour wheel options – and two Barco business projectors are used in the museum. The PFWU-51B business projector, with Clickshare option, was chosen for the educational area, and a CVHD-31B projector supports the museum’s mobile presentation.
The Museum of Mons is inspired by the story of an angel who appeared in the battlefields of Mons to protect British soldiers during World War I. The visitor experience presents the realities of war through witness accounts, immersing visitors in the daily lives of soldiers and civilians.
