Experiencing the intangible: Communicating cultural meaning and identity through storytelling and immersive technologies

博物馆文物被去文物化的问题已经得到承认，然而，收藏展示方法仍然经常导致人种学文物被剥夺其社会构建的意义和意义的形式。例如，这包括传达这些物品的重要性，谁使用了它们，以及它们在实践、信仰和仪式等更广泛的文化景观中的位置。这项研究将探索使用身临其境的技术和讲故事的方法和影响，使这些物品恢复活力和重新设置情境，交流它们的无形方面，并创造情感体验，翻译文化知识，促进未来受众的文化参与和理解。

The issue of museum artefacts being decontextualised has been recognised however collection display approaches still often result in ethnographic artefacts being stripped of their socially constructed forms of meaning and significance. This includes, for example, communicating the importance of these objects, who used them and where they fit within the wider cultural landscape of practice, belief and ritual. This research will explore methods for, and impact of, using immersive technologies and storytelling to reanimate and recontextualise these objects, communicating their intangible aspects and creating affective experiences which translate cultural knowledge and promote cultural engagement and understanding for future audiences.
