augmented reality
This project explores how new recording technologies such as immersive video, spatial audio, and motion capture can be used to document, preserve, and transmit embodied cultural practices of aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory regions of Australia.
Working closely with the community, the project team will capture communities’ ceremonial dances and music to help archive and preserve their cultural heritage.
By recording multi-modal data, producing educational material, and creating interactive immersive experiences, this work will also lead to the development...

Digital Skriker explores both the theoretical cruxes and archival possibilities enabled by robust and increasingly accessible motion capture and virtual reality technologies using Caryl Churchill’s play, The Skriker (1994) as a case study. Kelli Shermeyer, a doctoral candidate in UVA's English department, is interested in not only in how these technologies might change the way we think about documenting stage movement and gesture, but also how they may be used to create modes of (posthuman?) performance.
Digital Skriker is a project and adaptation of themes and subjects explored...

UVA Reveal thus explores otherwise hidden stories, histories, and questions surrounding objects and spaces at UVA. In doing so, we hope to prompt users to re-examine everyday environs and critically reflect on the structure, culture, mission, and...
