Immersive Gaming x Cultural Heritage Summit

 

 

While in the beginning, stationary display arrangements made up the majority of technological platforms, today immersive technologies such as virtual reality goggles and also AR-ready smartphones are increasingly gaining popularity to engage visitors on a new level. Will the technological possibility to project spatial and explorable virtual worlds into our physical reality bring cultural heritage (back) to life, thus offering visitors participatory experiences they can truly relate with? How can we fully exploit the unique affordances of the interactive immersive medium while at the same time taking into account the specific context and circumstances of cultural institutions?

 

The Immersive Gaming X Cultural Heritage Online Summit on November 17, 2021 will feature an array of best cases to discuss chances and challenges for institutions, audiences and game developers.

We invite media researchers of all qualification levels as well as practitioners from cultural institutions to share their insights and become part of the Immersive Gaming X Cultural Heritage Online Summit during the Clash of Realities Conference 2021.

Aiming to foster an interdisciplinary exchange, we encourage submissions from a multitude of domains such as didactics, impact studies, design research, history, or economics.

The summit will feature an array of best cases to discuss chances and challenges for institutions, audiences, and game developers. Submit your abstracts by September 15 to culturalheritage@clashofrealities.com.
