Oulu Museum and Science Centre opened VISIO at Tiima on 9 October 2026. The immersive space brings interactive presentations, educational programmes and events to the museum. The City of Oulu developed the space with Ars Electronica as part of the international Deep Space platform.

Projection and interaction

  • Projection. Eight Christie M 4K25-RGB projectors deliver 8K imagery on the wall and floor surfaces, which each measure 9 × 16 metres. Tiima specifies 4K at 120 Hz for each projector.
  • Tracking. The Pharus system uses six SICK LMS 100-10000 laser scanners to track players’ positions on the floor so they can interact with the presentation through movement.
  • Computing. Tiima lists eight PCs for 8K, HD and terminal rendering, tracking, control and backend functions, and utility tasks.

VISIO also uses spatial audio. Tiima provides stereoscopic glasses for some presentations.

Presentation format

Tiima says presentations typically run for about 20–25 minutes. The space can accommodate up to 80 people. In some interactive sessions, a smaller group participates while the rest of the audience watches.

Quotes

“Visio is not just a new space in Oulu, but also a gateway to an international network of expertise and creativity. We are excited about the opportunity to develop and produce our own content here in Oulu, alongside bringing international productions to local audiences. Our collaboration with Ars Electronica opens up new possibilities for exchanging ideas, sharing expertise and developing Visio as part of the international Deep Space community.”
