>Hi all

>One of the winning teams at the hackathon I was at in Estonia this
>weekend created a VR based quiz using objects sourced through Europeana,
>placing them in contextual VR environments - in the case of the demo,
>the ruins of a village in WW1.
>
>Two questions
>
>- can people give good examples of in-museum or museum focused VR
>experiences?
>
>- what level of interest is there within institutions to experiment with
>VR as a different form of visitor experience?
>
>All comments welcome as it will help them develop their concept. Any
>experts in the field we can consult with?

>Cheers, James

>PS the only example I have personally tried was in a photography
>exhibition at the National Archives in NL who did a virtual exhibition
>room to explore more of their collections. But in that case, personally
>I'd have preferred I nice touchscreen interface to a well presented
>version of their catalogue
