What I did on my summer vacation post #2: I was grateful to have the opportunity to participate in a NEH Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities symposium at UCLA on Advanced Challenges in 3D Modeling of Cultural Heritage Sites, where I presented a paper entitled “Virtual Cultural Rehearsal: Addressing Digital Humanities Concerns in the Design of Mixed-Reality Cultural Immersion Projects.” The paper considered three main issues in developing mixed-reality cultural immersion projects: affordances and constraints of mixed-reality, “authentic” non-verbal communication, and rehearsing cultural interaction and learning. The symposium took place over the course of four days at UCLA, and was led by Alyson Gill and Lisa Snyder.
