Carter Presidential Library and Museum Showcases
Cutting-Edge Audio-Visual Technologies

ATLANTA, GA — The Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta, Georgia recently reopened after an $8.5 million renovation. The museum's historic materials are showcased within a 70,000 square foot space using an array of cutting-edge audio-visual technologies that include a fully interactive touch-table that pairs live projection with user-activated navigation.

A large rotunda is the centerpiece of the museum where four 65” LCD digital signage screens are positioned below six 13-foot-tall, vertically-oriented, projection illuminated screens, creating a 10-image synchronized presentation.  The presentation, “A Day in the Life” depicts Carter’s presidential responsibilities from early morning until the end of day through video clips, photographs, sound recordings, and news footage.

"The combination of declassified documents, President Carter's private diaries, and cutting edge projection makes the description of a day at the White House one of the best examples of immersive education in the world," said Jay Hakes, Director, Carter Presidential Library and Museum.

Design and Production Incorporated, a full-service production and installation integrator used 13 projection-based systems from Digital Projection International including six 8,000-lumen TITAN HD-600 projectors and six dVision 1080p projectors, to deliver active imagery from numerous periods of Jimmy Carter’s life.

Digital Projection’s TITAN HD-600 projectors are positioned in portrait mode, thereby creating images much taller than they are wide without having to blend two projectors, and no mirrors are needed to achieve the effect. The TITAN projectors are designed to function in either horizontal or portrait mode interchangeably.

An 18-square-foot Corian-topped interactive table offers a user-navigated overview of Jimmy Carter’s post-presidencial endeavors, ranging from disease prevention to Habitat for Humanity. Interactive content is fed to the projectors by computers located within the interactive table.

“The table itself serves as a projection surface,” commented Dale Panning of D&P. “Embedded are six IRTOUCH T46 infrared touch frames. Six Digital Projection dVision 1080p-XL projectors provide imaging for both the interactive table and teaser text on the floor around the table," added Mr. Panning.

From a humanitarian standpoint, Jimmy Carter is considered one of the most active in U.S. history, and Design and Production Incorporated created a dynamic presentation which excels at presenting his diverse activities. President Carter, former Vice President Walter Mondale, and a host of national dignitaries celebrated the museum's re-opening marking a dynamic new chapter in the history of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum.  For more information, please visit www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov
