Located in the heart of Stephen’s Green in Dublin, this collaboration between UCD and the National Library of Ireland has gifted Dublin a new landmark cultural center. The center focuses on Ireland’s literary heritage, from its early traditions to some of the world's greatest storytellers. The exhibit also displays the very first copy of James Joyce's Ulysses.

Rockbrook developed and designed all of the audio-visual technology to help bring these stories to visitors in an interactive fashion. The centerpiece experience features a large, expansive projection that interacts in real-time with the movement of visitors within the space. A total of 20 ultrasonic and IR sensors track movement, dynamically driving quotes of poetry and verse on the projection-mapped wall. A series of directional speakers read the lines in sync with the dynamic video.

An extensive 32-track Dante-networked audio experience further immerses visitors in another world. A series of projections and audio exhibits throughout the center give visitors opportunities to explore Ireland's remarkable literary history.

Our project team worked with the exhibition designers, Ralph Appelbaum Associates, and our client, Marcon Heritage, to integrate and commission all of the audio-visual elements in the center.
