Studio 39: A Virtual Reality Learning Environment

格拉斯哥艺术学院（GSA）和数字工作室ISOdesign成功完成了由AHRC呼吁的“下一代沉浸式体验”资助的跨学科试点项目。我们在这个项目中的主要成果是为博物馆领域的沉浸式体验提供了一套初步的设计指南，以及基于GSA的Laocoon石膏雕像历史的AR和VR体验，该雕像是使用这些指南设计和开发的。这些AR和VR体验将于2018年12月在约克大学举行的AHRC展示活动以及2018年10月在伦敦举行的欧洲首屈一指的AR/VR会议- EuroVR上展示。此外，我们将在2018年10月在格拉斯哥举行的研讨会上展示我们的研究结果并展示我们的AR和VR体验：无形的事物：Macknut，真实性和保护。我们现在希望通过围绕我们的虚拟学习环境概念进行一系列传播和影响活动来扩展第一个项目的工作和成果：Studio 39。Studio 39的目标是让不同的用户群体，如艺术学生，学生，画廊和博物馆的游客有机会“深入”到内容丰富的沉浸式虚拟环境中，使用一系列档案资产，如3D对象扫描，视频，图像和数字文档。这些活动的核心目标是设计和评估Studio 39虚拟学习环境的概念验证，并探索新的商业模式和潜在的收入来源，从艺术和设计教育（高等和中等学校）中的这类应用以及文化机构更广泛的受众参与。

The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) and digital studio ISOdesign have successfully completed an interdisciplinary pilot project funded by the AHRC's call on 'Next Generation of Immersive Experiences'. Our main outputs from this project were an initial set of design guidelines for immersive experiences in the museum sector and an AR and VR experience based on the history of the GSA's Laocoon plastercast statue that was designed and developed using these guidelines. These AR and VR experiences will be demonstrated at the AHRC showcase event at the University of York in December 2018 and at Europe's premier AR/VR conference - EuroVR in London in October 2018. In addition, we will be presenting our findings and demonstrating our AR and VR experiences at the symposium: Intangible Matters: Mackintosh, Authenticity and Conservation in Glasgow in October 2018.We now wish to extend the work and outcomes of this first project by engaging in a series of dissemination and impact activities around our concept of a virtual learning environment: Studio 39. The aim of Studio 39 is to allow distinct user groups such as art students, school children, visitors to galleries and museums the opportunity to "deep dive" into content rich immersive virtual environments using a range of archival assets such as 3D object scans, videos, images and digital documents. These activities are based on the central aims of designing and evaluating a proof-of-concept Studio 39 virtual learning environment and explore new business models and potential revenue streams from this type of application in art and design education (tertiary and secondary school) and wider audience engagement for cultural institutions.
