Hi Hannah/Barbara, My experience is with digital/tech solutions as you may tell…. There are many examples of technologies allowing people to see what a view used to look like or engage with characters/people from the past. Considerations would be how interactive do you want the experience to be? Do you want visitors to control their movement or viewing of past and present images/film/places/spaces – or do you want to create a film or a timed event that visitors essential are ‘presented’ with? No right/wrong answer, but it helps with identifying the technologies that may be adopted to deliver these (apps, multimedia guides, tablets, screens, VR headsets, low-tech replicas…). Barbara – the 360 image alone may not be effective, but perhaps adding some interactivity – some control by the visitor, may offer more satisfaction? You might find this of interest when looking at onsite devices vs BYOD (Bring your own device): http://www.ats-heritage.co.uk/news/index.php/5-reasons-why-byod-isnt-the-silver-bullet-for-digital-cultural-experiences/ Of course, prior to all of this is and central to any concepts – what’s the story you want to tell and how do you want your visitors to feel afterwards! (what’s the 360 image not doing right?) From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.

I’ve been thinking about re-creating elements of the space at ground floor level elsewhere on the property…. From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.

I am currently considering ways to make the views and interpretation from the top of a 19th century watchman's tower accessible to those who have to stay on ground level. I have been thinking along the lines of a 360 photograph, 3-D modelling or film. But I also want to incorporate layering of past and present views to show how the landscape has changed over time. For our purposes I think something which visitors could view on their own smartphones by scanning a QR code might work best, but I'd really like to hear of any examples people might be able to give.

Provide a device (screen, tablet) to the visitor and provide a range of possible content options: Film (of space, or a demonstration of an object) including audio Photographs of spaces/objects Live stream video of inaccessible areas (with a camera(s) placed in inaccessible areas) 360 photograph – with zoomable and explorable features. 360 Film A step up from the tablet device could be a Virtual Reality headset with appropriate content (could include the above 360 stills or a 360 film) of the space/room/areas – or a 3D modelled recreation if you wanted to show what eth room looked like in the past, or to virtually pick up/explore objects. I’d be more than happy to chat through ideas if you’d like. Very best, Spencer.

That might be attics, caves, secure areas and small or fragile spaces. I’d be grateful for any examples – good and bad – and also for any ideas that you’ve had that might be interesting. I’m working with a decorated gallery space which is designed to be viewed from below but which of course, everyone would like to get up to see. It is extremely fragile and there is no way to create direct physical access.
