Abstract:
This course focuses on how heritage information can be communicated to visitors in more engaging, educational, and meaningful ways through the concept of “Phygital Heritage”. The phygital is the simultaneous and integrated interaction of the physical and the digital.
This course will first introduce the concept of phygital, with an emphasis on why this approach is promising in the field of heritage communication. Four scenarios will follow in which interactive phygital prototypes were designed and deployed in real-world heritage and museum environments. The third component of the course focuses on an evaluation framework for phygital heritage.
