Virtual Museums and Digital Culture Heritage

Catalog description

How can virtual and augmented reality transform the way we experience museums? How does visualization technology allow us to reinterpret artifacts of the past? This course integrates case studies and curatorial projects to examine ways of applying digital media to museum practice and cultural heritage. We will experiment with technologies such as 3D scanning, web platforms, VR, AR, and data visualization. Through readings, field trips, class projects, and potential collaboration with local cultural institutions and practitioners, we will explore their creative applications in the preservation, interpretation, reimagination, curation, and presentation of cultural heritage. 002335
