We want to explore and evaluate how these technologies might work for visitors in the context of learning and visitor experience in the Museum.<\/p>\n<p>In this GLAM Labs project we will create an \u2018experience station\u2019 in the Museum to provide visitors with access to VR models of specimens that they can manipulate using their \u2018virtual hands\u2019, supported by digital annotations and interpretation. A touchscreen built in to the kiosk will also allow access to other digital content created by the Museum that is not currently available to in-gallery visitors.\u00a0 This station will be designed so that it can be used as \u2018self-service\u2019, but it will also serve as a base from which regular Spotlight Specimen \u2018show and tell\u2019 sessions can be run by staff. These facilitated sessions will allow staff to use 3D printed models (and specimens) related to the VR models available in the headset component of the station.<\/p>\n<p>This work would dovetail with another stream of research that is about to commence at the Museum, in partnership with the University of Warwick. A postdoctoral researcher based at Warwick\u2019s WMG unit will undertake interdisciplinary research looking into science engagement and learning through the use of different visualisation techniques for museum material.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLAM Labs project based\u00a0at Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the\u00a0MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine. 2019 GLAM Labs round For more information, please\u00a0contact\u00a0innovation@it.ox.ac.uk\u00a0.
