Master Thesis 60 Credits UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Department of informatics Holmenkollen Time Travel Developing a Situated Simulation for a handheld device Master thesis 60 credits Vegard Fleischer Orkelbog 31. January 2012 II Abstract Holmenkollen is a ski jumping hill, a place and a structure of cultural and historical importance in Norway. This thesis describes the development of the situated simulation Holmenkollen Time Travel (HTT), an application made for iPad2. The HTT allows a user to “travel in time” to experience four different versions of the ski jumping hill, hence the name. The application is tested on location by different user groups and the feedback from the individuals shows how the HTT can enhance a user’s experience of Holmenkollen. The application introduces some new developments to the concept of situated simulations, and is further analyzed within the theoretical framework of Augmented Reality and Place Specific Computing. III IV Acknowledgements I would really like to thank my supervisor Gunnar Liestøl for his excellent support during the whole process; it’s been a pleasure working with you. I would also like to thank those affiliated with the INVENTIO-Project who has given me a hand, and a special thanks to Tomas Stenarson who has been a really helpful during the development phase. Thanks to my informants, especially to Klaus Kromann in the Ski Federation. You have been a great asset to me. Mikkel, my good friend and colleague, you have been great support. You have given me lots of valuable input and motivation when I needed it the most. Thank you for being there! What would the days have been like without good friends and lunch-buddies? Jenny and Ann Kristin, thanks for all the laughs. I will miss working next to you! A big thanks to the rest of my friends from the media department, I’m going to miss the Quiz-breaks. Last but not least, to the two women in my life! Thanks mom for cleaning up my grammatical mistakes, and for caring about my wellbeing. (You probably should have proofed this part as well…) Siv Helén, thank you for putting up with all my crap, for helping me structure my thesis, for making me dinner and turning the light back on every time it got dark. I love you! You’re the Best! V VI “Ett heligt berg...” Liksom Olympen i Grekland i sig innefattade icke blott berget med samma namn, utan hela gudomen, så får vi i våra dagar använda samma måttstock på Holmenkollen i Norge. Det är namnet på nationalsporten, nationalbacken, nationaldagen. Det är ett heligt berg. Den svenske avisen Svenska Dagbladet Stockholm 1920 “A holy mountain...” Like Mount Olympus in Greece, the name means more than the hill itself, it describes the divine. That is also how we see Holmenkollen, Norway. It is the name of the national sport, the national hill, the national day. It is a holy mountain.

    Kjell Tore Våle Hvorfor er det ingen private eiendomsinvestorer som eier en Bob- og skeletonbane? Lønnsomhet av OL - anleggene etter Lillehammer 1994 Masteroppgave i Eiendomsutvikling og forvaltning, NTNU Trondheim, juni 2015 Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet Fakultet for arkitektur og billedkunst Institutt for byggekunst, prosjektering og forvaltning Forord Dette er en avsluttende masteroppgave i det 2-årige masterprogrammet Eiendomsutvikling og forvaltning på NTNU. Masterprogrammet har hatt en veldig god oppbygning av ulike fagretninger med spennende forelesninger og engasjerte forelesere. Det er blitt brukt en stor del av fagstoffet og det hadde vært vanskelig å løse problemstillingen i denne oppgaven om ikke jeg hadde denne tillærte kunnskapen fra studiet. Jeg har bakgrunn som samfunnsøkonom fra Handelshøyskolen BI, så oppgaven har en økonomisk vinkling på et eiendomsrelatert spørsmål. Det har i 2014 vært mye skriverier i mediebildet om OL i Oslo 2022. Det ble på høsten 2014 bestemt av den sittende regjeringen at søknaden skulle trekkes. Hvorfor Norge ikke ønsket å arrangere OL har ulike svar avhengig av hvem man spør, men to av aspektene er naturlig nok de økonomiske kostnader og etterbruken. Det er med denne oppgaven derfor ønskelig å bidra med noen betraktninger på dette området. Min tanke er at man burde se til fortiden for å kunne se inn i fremtiden, så Lillehammer OL ´94 er valgt som utgangspunkt. Problemstillingen som er formulert er: Hvor lønnsomt vil det være for en kommunal eiendomsinvestor å drifte og eie et OL-anlegg? For å kunne besvare dette spørsmålet er det blitt gjennomført intervjuer med daglige ledere av OL-anlegg og analyse av 63 årsregnskap fra de tre kommunale foretakene i henholdsvis Lillehammer, Hamar og Gjøvik.

    Holmenkollbakken, en av Norges viktigste lysobjekter Tekst: Petter Kristiansen Foto: Petter Kristiansen, Bjørgulf Byre, illustrasjon ved ÅF Lighting Sjelden har vel et mesterskap, VM på ski i 2011, vært så vellykket som fjorårets arrangement i nye Holmenkollen nasjonalanlegg.

Preliminary Remarks Jumping hills that are to be homologated by the FIS must be configured in compliance with the requirements of the International Competition Rules (ICR) and the present Construction Standard (Norm). Also for jumping hills that will not be homologated by the FIS, it is advisable to apply the FIS standards. The geometric elements of a jumping hills and the minimum requirements necessary for the safety of ski jumpers, officials and spectators are specified in the International Competition Rules (ICR) Volume III, Art. 410. They serve hill inspectors and competi- tion management with the assessment and approval of a facility. The Jumping Committee created this standard for the planning of a new installation or for the conversion of an existing installation. It is aimed at engineers and architects who are responsible for project planning. In contrast to the last issue from 2012, the detailed description of mathematical operations has been omitted.
