Hi,
I am Valentina, one of the organisers of a Sussex-based group called '
Culture Geeks'.
Our group brings together every month in informal meet-ups people from
museums and cultural organisations with IT professionals who are interested
in exploring the possibilities of technology in the cultural sector. Because
of the increasing interest and positive feedback we have recently received,
we are organising a bigger event in September.
This free-to-attend event will be a great opportunity to talk with people
from IT, museums and cultural organisations who share a common interest in
integrating technology and culture.
We will start off with a short talk on:
" 3D Virtual Reality Technology for Cultural Heritage: More than computer
games"
*Speaker:* Karina Rodriguez Echavarria, Research Fellow, University of
Brighton.
*DATE: *24 September, 7.30 p.m.
*WHERE:* Regency Town House, 13 Brunswick Square, Hove. (view map)
*PRICE:* Free
The use of 3D technology in Cultural Heritage is becoming increasingly
popular, but many people still think of it in terms of "computer games",
without considering fully its potential to enhance documentation, research
and communication.
This presentation will describe 3D Virtual Reality technology in a friendly
way. It will also encourage discussion on ways in which this technology can
contribute to the heritage sector as well as support and challenge visitors'
interpretation of the heritage displayed in museums and cultural sites.
There is no bar, but you can bring your own drinks. So feel free to bring
drinks for yourself and to share!
