Exploring the Use of 3D Technologies, Virtual Reality, and Immersive Media in Public Archaeology to Advance Awareness of Material Culture across Social Media Platforms
Author(s): Phillip Ashlock; Dawn Ashlock
Year: 2018
Summary
With the increasing issues surrounding access to remote sites, record low attendance of traditional museum settings, and trends involving greater interaction with social media platforms among upcoming generations, this poster presentation attempts to explore the use of 3D technologies, virtual reality (VR), and immersive media in Public Archaeology to advance awareness of material culture across social media platforms. These methods provide the ability to disseminate content to the public en masse, and are considered a critical tool in challenging anti-science rhetoric by demonstrating accurate visual representations of the past.
