VR Experiment “Changing Places”: Participants Sought
By Annika Heyen, M.A. · Originally published on nghm.hypotheses.org
How do the perception and identification potential of places change when we alter them virtually? Can we tell new stories at familiar places, and how do recipients experience this? These and further questions are explored by the transfer project “Reflexive Migration Research in the Museum” in its VR experiment “Changing Places.”
All members of the University of Osnabrück as well as interested members of the Osnabrück community are invited to participate in the VR experiment. The next available time slots are on Wednesday, 21 October, and Wednesday, 28 October, between 12 noon and 6 p.m. respectively. Those wishing to participate on the day are welcome to simply drop by the foyer of the Student Centre (StudZ, Kolpingstraße 1) during this period. Anyone who would like to book an appointment in advance can do so at the following link: https://terminplaner6.dfn.de/b/ccb087c9b427bb93e89b2047316ed503-1913929
Participation in the VR experiment will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes and will be compensated with a honorarium of 10 euros.
The transfer project “Reflexive Migration Research in the Museum. Potentials and Perspectives of Virtual Realities” examines the extent to which the use of digital VR tools in the production of the history of migration society in Germany can shift agency towards migrantized actors and alter the perception and identification potential of history and historically charged places.
