The Virtual Garden: Didactic Reconstruction and Extended Experientiality in the Villa of Livia Frescoes
By David Massey, Matthew Brennan, and Nicholas Plank
Despite the increasing implementation of virtual reality (VR) in the field of archaeology, there is a continued focus on preservation and 3D reconstruction rather than more in-depth applications afforded by VR. We propose an extended methodology for presenting archaeological, art historical, and didactic information in VR—focusing on experientiality and presence for use in access, research, education, and outreach.
