Co-Design of a Virtual Heritage Experience

Co-Design of a Virtual Heritage Experience

Posted by | Feb 14, 2018 |

Abstract In this case of excellence, we present the design of a site-specific virtual heritage experience for a bomb shelter dating from the Spanish Civil War, known as Refugi 307. In order to maximize impact, we followed a co-design approach to analyse the project requirements for an educational experience for primary school students. In this way we included in the design the different needs and viewpoints of the involved stakeholders (students, teachers, curators, guides and interaction designers). The prototype was based on a novel Augmented Reality interaction paradigm, called World as Support. The goal was to complement the current...

In this way, a monument can be seen as a whole, within a place with a soul – a genius loci [4]. This example focuses on the holistic approach taken to documentation activities...
