Visualisation is creativeProblem: A farmer was not allowed to build a barn to shelter his horses. Solution: He was allowed to build furniture.

Virtual Heritage is..• “[It is]…the use of computer-based interactive
technologies to record, preserve, or recreate artifacts, sites and actors of historic, artistic, religious, and cultural significance and to deliver the results openly to a global audience in such a way as to provide formative educational experiences through electronic manipulations of time and space.”
• Stone & Ojika, 2000
![Page 7: Heritage Visualisation: Lessons From The Fun Side](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/549412eab479597e6a8b5d10/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What Is Left Out?• Beliefs, rituals, other cultural behaviours and activities?
• Traces the level of certainty, and authenticity of reproduction and reveals process? I.e. scholastic rigor?
• Sensitive to the needs of audience & shareholder?
Virtual heritage is the attempt to convey not just the appearance but also the meaning and significance of cultural artefacts and the associated social agency that designed and used them, through the use of interactive and immersive digital media.

Visualisation & Simulation• “to form a mental image of something incapable of being
viewed or not at that moment visible… (Collins Dictionary)...a tool or method for interpreting image data fed into a computer and for generating images from complex multidimensional data sets” (McCormick et al. 1987).
• “The purpose of a simulation is to study the characteristics of a real-life or fictional system by manipulating variables that cannot be controlled in a real system…While a model aims to be true to the system it represents, a simulation can use a model to explore states that would not be possible in the original system.” (Beat Schwendimann, 2010).

VH is not VR• “Virtual reality is the use of computers and human-
computer interfaces to create the effect of a three- dimensional world containing interactive objects with a strong sense of three-dimensional presence.”
• The importance of using HMDs or CAVEs, for VR apparently requires “a head-tracked, usually a stereoscopic, display that presents the virtual world from the user’s current head position, including the visual cues required..”

Definitions NEW MEDIA: the act of reshaping the user experience
through the innovative use of digital media. VIRTUAL HERITAGE: convey the appearance, meaning,
significance and social agency that designed and used cultural artefacts and sites, (through the use of interactive and immersive digital media).
NEW HERITAGE: re-examine the user experience that digital media can provide for the understanding and experiencing of tangible and intangible cultural heritage

Edu-retainment
• Game based learning, serious games, playful learning, game-based learning…
• “Anyone who thinks there is a difference between education and entertainment doesn’t know the first thing about either.”—Marshall McLuhan, Communications Theorist Sims: Virtual Montecello
![Page 18: Heritage Visualisation: Lessons From The Fun Side](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/549412eab479597e6a8b5d10/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Four Hypotheses• Social learning is inter-active but Culture is also
materially embedded or embodied.
• To teach and disseminate immersive Digital History and Virtual Heritage, interaction and the learning that results from that interaction is crucial (see Mosaker, 2001).
• To improve interaction, examine games and why they are so successful; academic literature suggests games are best examples of interactive digital engagement (references in Champion, 2008 et al.).
• Game-based interaction has to be modified for DH/VH.
![Page 19: Heritage Visualisation: Lessons From The Fun Side](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/549412eab479597e6a8b5d10/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4 Issues With Culture
1. Definition (relation to place and inhabitation)?
2. How is culture transmitted?
3. Transmit local situated cultural knowledge to “others”?
4. VH: how to transmit via digital & augmented media?
![Page 20: Heritage Visualisation: Lessons From The Fun Side](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/549412eab479597e6a8b5d10/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Central Point• Games are great learning environments
• Except for Cultural Significance, history and heritage
• Conclusion: problems and solutions
• Technology=barrier but not issue: learning is the problem.
• Which historical principles are used, learnt and applied?
• Inhabitants’ points of view (heritage) is missing
• Scholarly cycle incomplete, community cycle inextensible
![Page 21: Heritage Visualisation: Lessons From The Fun Side](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/549412eab479597e6a8b5d10/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Five Features of Place1. A place can have a distinct theme, atmosphere, and contextually
related artefacts.*
2. Some places have the capacity to overawe.
3. Place has the power to evoke memories and associations.
4. Place has the capability to act as either stage or framework in which communal and individual activity can ‘take place’.
5. Place has the ability to transmit the cultural intentions of individual participants and social ‘bodies’.
* Place is a process not a product, and can consist of multiple interpretations, conflicts, and a unique combination of borrowed histories. (Doreen Massey).
![Page 22: Heritage Visualisation: Lessons From The Fun Side](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051610/549412eab479597e6a8b5d10/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why 3D?• To evoke +communicate historical situations or heritage values find
deeper understandings not simply memorize facts (Bloom, 1956).
• Place is a cultural setting, it gives cultural interaction a time and a location, Crang (1998, p.103), “Spaces become places as they become ‘time-thickened’”
• Places do not just organise space, they orient, identify, and animate the bodies, minds, and feelings of both inhabitants and visitors.
• Cultural presence: a feeling in a virtual environment that people with a different cultural perspective occupy or have occupied that virtual environment as a ‘place’.

Why Recreate Place-ness?
• Fix locations in the memory (hippocampus).
• Reveal design based on scale and senses.
• Reveal limitations or principles of historical 2D images.
• Provide a heightened sense of difficulty, occasion, ritual, social proxemics (social hierarchies).
• Afford a sense of place: peripherality, centre directionality.
• Cultural landscapes affected by topography and climate and proximity to resources.
• Parts of language affected by geolocation of cultures.

Culture is a feedback loop• A visitor perceives space as place, and inhabits (modifies
a place), place 'perpetuates culture’, and thus influences the inhabitants in turn.
• We might say that social behaviour is behaviour between two or more people.
• Cultural behaviour is a subset of social behaviour, where behaviour is governed by or understood in terms of a cultural setting.
• As culture almost inevitably involves transactions, there must be objects of shared transactional value.

Video Games Pros & ConsFactors Weaknesses Strengths
Interaction Agency destroys historic causality. Simplistic interaction, may be difficult for older audiences. Helps teach interaction design.
Engagement Educational games: worst of both worlds? Well-known & popular.
Learning How to promote heritage & knowledge transfer. Learn by trial and error. Leveling allow for skills learnt
Technical issues Often contains many bugs. Often platform specific. Speed, lighting, avatar design, peripheries, networking
Support Support by the actual company can be slow, and they may avoid listing intended future features.
Community support (internet forums).
Game development
Non proprietary formats, changing game engine code requires high coding skills
Education discounts available, some games are easily “modded”.
Access/ cost Expensive software development kits and commercial licenses. Expensive.
Take them home, personalize modify and share them.
Institutional value Not taken seriously. Employability for students.

2001-2004 PhD thesis• Place versus Cyberspace: What creates a sensation of place (as a
cultural site) in a virtual environment in contradistinction to a sensation of a virtual environment as a collection of objects and spaces?
• Cultural Presence versus Social Presence and Presence: Which factors help immerse people spatially and thematically into a cultural learning experience?
• Realism versus Interpretation: Does an attempt to perfect fidelity to sources and to realism improve or hinder the cultural learning experience?
• Education versus Entertainment: Does an attempt to make the experience engaging improve or hinder the cultural learning experience?

Film Students Into VEs
•Recreation of Maltese temples, the students created ghost narrators by videoing themselves recreating imagined rituals and inserting these translucent videos into the game level. This was done in less than 12 weeks part-‐time by 3 students (undergraduate) in 2005. CAVI (lower left) at Aarhus can do this and project videos onto 3D statues and monuments.

Lessons badly learnt• Very difficult to recreate original action scenes
and moments of discovery as game devices.
• Chinese players, familiar with a distorted version of the original, not aware their cultural knowledge was not accurate, did not appreciate being told this.
• Recreating linear narrative via game design is torturous.
• OR: simulate the procedural knowledge of rituals and symbol-making via thematically-akin interaction..
• ref: Game Mods: Design Theory and Criticism

Games aren’t Challenging?• A rule-based formal system with a variable and quantifiable
outcome, where different outcomes are assigned different values, the player exerts effort in order to influence the outcome, the player feels attached to the outcome, and the consequences of the activity are optional and negotiable. (Juul 2003, para 15).
• A system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome. (Salen and Zimmerman, 2004).
• A challenge that offers up the possibility of temporary or permanent tactical resolution without harmful outcomes to the real world situation of the participant (Champion, 2006).

Prescriptive or Procedural learning?
Gamer: Reach objectives as quickly and vividly as possible. Activity
Tourist: Enjoy highlights safely and conveniently. Viz: Weekend in Capri
Traveller: complete tasks via local affordances. Activity: Myst
Archaeologist: Discover past via examining material remains, geographical changes,
epigraphy etc.
Viz of process: ArcDig, detective
series?
Anthropologist: Understand the beliefs roles and relationships of inhabitants in context. geographical changes, epigraphy etc.
Hermeneutic: Myst, Sims? Oblivion?

Problem: Interaction /History• Ritual knowledge: Match artefacts with events to progress through time
• Memetic Cause &effect (Guess results or memes to progress history)
• Extrapolate from clues in NPC dialogue
• Role-play minor characters, “History” not affected
• Counterfactual histories (create many possible worlds)
• Augment virtual world with historical or current media
• Sentiment analysis (observe the emotional impact of events on NPCs)
• Separate lies from truth to progress
• Mimic NPCs (as a kind of reverse Cultural Turing Test)

Problem: Inhabitants’ PoV• Can users learn via interaction the meanings and values
of others, do we need to interact as the original inhabitants did?
• How can we find out how they interacted?
• Can the limited and constraining nature of current technology help interaction become more meaningful, educational and enjoyable (Handron & Jacobson, 2010)?
• How do we even know when meaningful learning is reached?

• Being “in the flow”
• Physical delineation (profane vs sacred)

Alternatives To Violence• Reflexivity: A reflective space,
where players relax & consider the consequences of their actions
• Performativity: Players asked to perform or orate and present their experience of the VE in class.
• RPG Virtue Ethics: Characters change in relation to development of virtue ethics.
• Consequentialism: Consequences of player actions affect their future gameplay. through the game.
• Creative Uses For Weapons.
• NPC distaste and disparagement: they discourage violence.
• Biofeedback: Performance based on calmness.
• Expressive and embodied modes of interaction.
• Non-violent competition.
• P l a y e r s b e c o m e m o r a l l y accountable for their actions.
• Ritual or mythical use of weapons.

Evaluating VES - People• Task performance (quantitative or
qualitative)
• Likert or statistical evaluation
• Extrapolated understanding
• Personal ‘sense’ of cultural presence
• What do they choose next (exit strategies)
• ‘Teach the teacher’ et al methods
• Excitement recorded from biofeedback

Conclusion• Games as Virtual Environments may connect more people,
more thematically without competing with book learning.
• Background research needed for public vs. scholar needs.
• Game conventions ‘work’ but meaningful learning elusive.
• We lack interactive and immersive digital history projects that are meaningful and engaging learning experiences.
• Mixed reality in history and heritage has many advantages but few working exemplars.
