Virtual reconstructions have given us the opportunity to experience structures and landscapes which may be inaccessible or bygone vestiges of their former selves. Reconstructed digital representations of the past are usually based on scientific research and excavations, and therefore a tool to interpret our ideas and theories of how things could have been which stands up to academic rigor. In this session we will hear of successful historical visualisations and discuss what technologies allow us to create, experience, and learn from evidence-based restoration.

This webinar on VR & digital reconstruction counted on the presence of Catherine Cassidy from the University of St. Andrews and Jacquie Aitken from Timespan who presented some of the great digital reconstruction projects that have taken place in recent years within CINE and other projects. David Caldwell, archaeologist and curator, also joined the discussion.

The webinar was streamed through the Facebook page of PHIVE.
