“Imagine stepping into the hidden depot of a museum collection: aisles of cupboards and boxes, yellowed name tags assigning years to objects, the faint, stale scent of time past. Each object holds a story — of artistry, of people, of their lives and legacies. Now, consider what remains of these stories if the objects cannot be displayed, if visitors don’t see them. What happens to these memories when they lie unseen, untold, untouched?”
This was the starting point for the guide created by our partners at Sound and Vision, Gabrielle Aguilar van Gend, Rasa Bočytė, Alina Goldman, Steffie van der Horst, Philine Kreuzer, Johan Oomen and Max Tiel. The “Creating Meaning Interactions with Cultural Heritage in Immersive Environments” guide is a result of research with cultural heritage professionals and XR design studios and answers the central question of: How can we create meaningful interactions with cultural heritage in immersive environments?
