14 Apr 2016 Museum uses Samsung Gear to bring Scottish history to life on World Heritage Day Supplier: Samsung Electronics Ltd More Samsung Electronics Ltd details
World Heritage Day is on 18 April The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh has announced it will be participating in World Heritage Day on 18 April with a free-to-attend virtual reality event.
VR is a fitting technology for the heritage sector, enabling visitors to get a taste for what life was like in the past in a truly immersive way. For example, visitors to the one-off event can travel back 1,800 years to see the Romans build Scotland’s Antonine Wall, or take a virtual tour of Orkney’s Neolithic burial chambers with the aid of the Samsung Gear VR headset.
The event is being organised by Historic Environment Scotland (HES), the newly formed public body responsible for protecting the nation’s heritage. The VR element is the work of Scotland's Centre for Digital Documentation and Visualisation (CDDV).
“World Heritage Day is a great opportunity to highlight these fascinating and diverse sites, and help to raise awareness and educate people on the importance of them to ensure they are protected and celebrated for many years to come,” said HES site coordinator Alice Lyall.
CDDV will also be there to demonstrate how they’re using 3D technology to digitally preserve historic sites.
