In this edition, SVC contributing editor Bennett Liles talks with Paul Parrie, associate vice president of technology at the National World War II Museum. Paul describes the museum and provides a fascinating backstage look at how all of the mechanisms work in Beyond All Boundaries, a multimedia experience that immerses the Solomon Victory Theater audience in the sights, sounds and even the tactile aspects of World War II combat. In part one, the AV aspects of some of the museum’s other venues are discussed along with the main theater’s multi-layered edge-blending projection and master timecode-chasing system.
