Dear Teminha
I expect you found my website (see below)? Some of the articles i've linked
to - on the Internet page - are quite interesting. If you find more please
let me know, as I haven't kept that part very well up to date.
You might find something on Cultivate Interactive too.
http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue22/dempsey/
is one that I found really good.
regards
Suzanne

>
> Dear all,
>
> I am looking into the possibility of researching the issue of virtual
> vs. authentic object in the context of museums and the digitisation of
> collections.
>
> I have found adequete material on the pros and cons of digitisation and
> its scope for museums regarding such things as funding, wider access,
> education, etc... but not much about the relative impact digitisation of
> collections will have a) on the role of museums and b) on the value of
> the authentic object and how the authentic object (I use the term
> loosely to mean any 3D object one would recognise in a museum) might
> come to be regarded by the wider public post-digitisation.
>
> I am aware of research into the implications of VR in archaeology where
> many of these issues have been addressed but I am interested in it from
> the point of view of how museums may come to redefine themselves in the
> future.
>
> I don't want to reinvent the wheel here, so if anyone knows of any
> websites or publications that deal with the complxities of real
> vs. virtual in a museum context, then I would be very interested in
> hearing from you.

> Many thanks in advance for any advice or information.
