This enables visitors to witness the artificial harbour being constructed, just as it was in less than 10 days, in 1944. The immersive capabilities of Panasonic’s technology are best illustrated through a projection of the Mulberry B harbour onto a transparent holographic canvas, situated in front of windows that overlook the English Channel. For the projection onto the large 28 sq metre model that depicts post-D-Day operations, the Museum utilised a PT-RZ990 projector with an ET-DLE020 ultra-wide-angle lens only available from Panasonic. With many of the projection environments confined to small and intimate spaces, the museum required short-throw and ultra-wide-angle lenses, a key differentiator in choosing Panasonic technology. ![]() Using Panasonic’s projection mapping technology, visitors can truly visualise and understand the unprecedented logistical operation that was needed, through an immersive and interactive experience that complements the existing artefacts on display. Logistics was key in the liberation of Europe and at its height, a full truck laden with supplies was leaving the artificial port every 80 seconds on average. Mulberry B was constructed at Arromanches to transport men, equipment, and supplies inland during the summer of 1944, circumnavigating the need to immediately capture the heavily fortified deep-water ports of Cherbourg and Le Havre. ![]()
