‘REALITY REMIX’ at the AHRC Next Generation Immersive Experiences Showcase

Gibson/Martelli, , ,

I was asked to make a 5 min presentation about my Reality Remix project at the AHRC’s Next Generation Immersive Experiences showcase at the University of York, Department of Theatre, Film and Television in December. Alongside the other 32 award winners I had the opportunity to show off some of the virtual experiences and make this 5 min slideshow and talk. The AHRC/ EPSRC wanted a brief 5 slide talk  ….. so here it is. The day was fun and it was good to meet some of the other awardees, many of them coming from a museological, archeological viewpoint. People found our proof-of-concepts and proto-types relaxing, exciting and absorbing and our different VR experiences encouraged them to move around and off the spot using their whole body to engage. – Ruth Gibson
