Museums of the Future: Heritage Experiences in the Reality-Virtuality Continuum

Woolley, Sandra; Collins, Tim; Rhodes, Richard; Polack, Fiona

Abstract

In this paper we reflect on the interplay and the disconnects between real and virtual heritage experiences, and the fragmented nature of digital experiences. We consider the important engagement potential that virtual interactions bring to small less visible artefacts, like clay cuneiform tablets, and, with case study examples, we imagine museums of the future where engagements unite, blend and reinforce rich heritage experiences.
