An holographic Museum : The Holomouseio Project
Thanks to a partnership with the Lille's University, Holusion developed a new way to visit museum.
This project named "Holomouseio", from μουσείο / mouseio, museum in greek, grant to the public the opportunity to discover in holograms the hidden treasures of the University.
This interactive showcase contains digitalized artworks and artefacts from the departments of archeology, paleontology, art and old scientific instruments.
Unobtainable, invisible or unavailable objects are now within reach for anyone.

Travel through digital collections
Holomouseio allows you to discover a collection of objects in an holographic way. The visitor can browse the collection thanks to an interactive tablet. Three themes are developed here :
"The funeral and religious world of Ancient Egypt" promotes the collection of the Institute of Papyrology and Egyptology of the University of Lille.
"Walking through the Carboniferous forest of Northern France" highlights the paleobotany collection of the University of Lille.
E.Thesaurus "Silverware at the test of numerical modelling" allows you to discover an unique medieval piece, the foot of the Cross of the Abbey of Saint Bertin.
The device is on display at the Espace Culture of the University of Lille (Campus Cité Scientifique) from 16 January to 14 February and will be visible from 25 February to 14 March at the Bibliothèque des Sciences et de l'Antiquité (Campus Pont de Bois sur Lille), from the 18 to 27 March 2019 at the Catholic Institute of Lille and from 1 to 18 April in Lilliad, Learning Center innovation (Campus Cité Scientifique sur Lille).
How to create an holographic museum ?
Holomouseio is made of three parts :
- An Iris 32
- A tablet for controlling the holograms
- A piece of furniture specially designed to use the device ergonomically
Holomouseio allows to transform a database of digitized objects into a virtual exhibition around these holograms.
Your holographic showcase in three steps
1 - Digitization
Manage a database of digitized objects in many possible formats: 360° photo, photogrammetry, scanner, etc.
2 -Customization
Write the description of your objects, organize the collections into sub-categories and create an unique itinerary for visitors
3- Content management and maintenance
Add or modify collections independently. Take advantage of a SAS mode to update your holographic museum as you digitize and update your exhibition.
