Accessibly (Re)Creating the Past
Details
Ever wish you could go back in time?
XR is great for doing things that are impossible, including time travel. As more universities, museums, and enterprises adopt XR there are a few things we need to keep in mind when trying to (re)create the past.
This talk will cover 5 points to consider when trying to (re)create the past in accessible ways using XR technologies.
- User control
- High-level guidelines
- Change over time
- Multiple interpretations
- Handling unknowns
