BrightSign and Kumulus Agency have debuted a new exhibition at the Svalbard Museum in Longyearbyen, in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard.

BrightSign's HD5 and XC2055 digital signage solutions are transporting visitors into a world where prehistoric bones trigger animations, glowing spheres respond to touch and the Northern Lights shimmer across a 13-meter wall in 4K, according to a case study.

The installation features:

Nexmosphere sensors and tactile elements that respond to guest interaction.
A dual-projection Aurora Borealis experience powered by BrightSign digital signage players.
RFID storytelling with 3D-milled wooden relics.
Motion-triggered zones that animate Arctic wildlife.
A responsive LED sphere illustrating climate change.
Directional audio zones for immersive soundscapes.

"The installations powered by the BrightSign technology have added another layer of interactivity and motion to our exhibitions, helping both children and adults to better learn about the fascinating nature and environment of the high Arctic," Eystein Markusson, director, Svalbard Museum, said in the case study.

Kumulus Agency is a Danish architecture firm specializing in spatial storytelling.

BrightSign's technology in the activation includes:

BrightSign HD5 players drive motion-triggered animations, ambient audio, RFID and touch-based engagement.
BrightSign XC2055 players power a dual-projection Northern Lights display with perfectly synced 4K visuals.
BrightSignOS ensures smooth, offline playback and reliable long-term operation with minimal maintenance.
brightAuthor connected schedules, builds, and delivers all content, enabling Kumulus to efficiently manage deployment across a secure network with reliable offline playback.

"BrightSign players combined with brightAuthor connected provided a cohesive, robust, and fail-proof platform. The system was simple to implement, worked seamlessly with the Nexmosphere accessories, and enabled us to convey the story of Svalbard in the way we envisioned," Jeppe Stouby Mortensen, partner, Kumulus Agency, said in the case study.
