Audio visual integration project in the cultural sector within the Barcino Plan, which aims at recovering the Roman heritage in the city of Barcelona.

An archaeological excavation in 2004 uncovered remains of a Roman Domus, dating from century I. These include mural paintings of high technical quality that are first seen in the city and have been restored. Within the Barcino Plan, the muselization project is carried out in order to approach these discoveries to the citizens.

Sono was commissioned by the Cultural Institut of Barcelona (ICUB) to realize and implement the audio visual engineering project in this new museographic space

We can divide this space in 3 zones:

Zone 1 – Introduction

The beginning of the tour introduces the visitor into the roman era through sounds that are activated by presence sensors.

Zone 2 – Immersion

This is the exhibition zone itself. The integration of a control system allows the visit guide to manage from an iPad all the AV equipment and the languages selection.

We can change to one part of the visit to another by the synchronization of different elements such the video players and the lighting.

The audio visual technology employed includes a large format widescreen projection (5 x 2,5 m), 10-inch screens and 2 46-inch multi-touch displays for the visitors to delve deeper interactively into the content of the exhibition.

Zone 3 – Epilogue

At the end of the visit we found another AV projection on the wall, with additional information about the historical context of Domus Avinyó.

This exhibition can be visited for free until 26th April. More information for visits: http://museuhistoria.bcn.cat/en/ node/1057
