Prehistoric archaeology in a dynamic spatial visualization environment
نویسنده
چکیده
My paper addresses how the past can be understood as experiential by exploring the interaction between the mobile body and the structures of the built environment. My central argument is that in order for digital cultural heritage to include the social context it needs to consider bodies and patterns of movement in relation to physical architecture. In this paper a model is proposed for articulating embodied subjectivity and the intangible aspects of social history as part of a virtual cultural heritage experience.
