Wimbledon tennis museum opens
The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum in London, UK, has reopened to the public after undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment.
New installations at the museum include a 220-degree video screen, which will allow visitors to ‘fly around’ and view action from the 2005 final of the Wimbledon tennis championships.
A special panoramic rig was used to record the footage, which focused on 20 different aspects of the match and will show viewers how players’ bodies and equipment are affected during the course of a professional tennis match.
Visitors will also be able to see a 3D projection of tennis legend John McEnroe wandering through a recreation of 1980s-style changing rooms.
Interactive touch screen consoles have been evenly distributed throughout the Museum hallways and other new features include the 'Get a Grip' rotating wheel of rackets; 'The Reactor' game and an archive of great past Championship matches.
The 7,500sq ft museum is part of Wimbledon’s 10-year restructuring plans, which include the renovation of the Centre Court buildings. Details: www.wimbledon.org
