Digital Humanities Symposium - Virtualisation and Heritage

Digital technologies are beginning to have a great impact on the field of cultural heritage preservation in previously unthought of ways.  This impact has been recognised by funding bodies including the AHRC, who have instigated ‘Digital transformations’as one of their emerging themes for future research.

As access to high-end computer equipment increases researchers are able to produce increasingly sophisticated computer models to aid their research in cultural heritage.  Computer virtualisations and auralisations are now commonplace throughout the heritage sector, and widespread, high speed Internet access allows for quick dissemination across the world.  

This event seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners in the digital humanities who focus on different aspects of heritage.  We are interested in paper presentations, posters and workshop proposals. The topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Acoustic modelling of heritage sites

• Virtual modelling of heritage sites

• Data capture

• Dissemination and cultural heritage

• Virtual modelling for public display

• Virtual modelling for research

• Dissemination

• Technical developments and applications

• Media archiving and digital restoration

• Ethics of heritage preservation and reconstruction
