Virtual Vikings - 'Not Just Another On-line Museum'

在JORVIK维京海盗中心，游客们与维京人“面对面”，参观重建的维京时代城市，感受1,000多年前生活的景象、声音和气味。现在，约克考古信托基金会（YAT），谁发现了维京海盗城市的遗迹，并创造了开创性的博物馆36年前，正在努力创造同样的互动体验，为网上游客。从与一位维京海盗讨论午餐菜单，学习有用的古挪威语短语，到指导如何用自制的编织片来绑袜子和修剪衣架。这些只是JORVIK新的在线博物馆希望提供的一些互动活动，以及与专家讨论深入和不断发展的研究和发现的机会，例如受非洲影响的维京海盗砂锅菜或探索古代陶器上发现的指纹的法医调查。YAT希望创造一种新风格的在线博物馆，不仅仅是围绕物体的图像，学术信息，广告和事实列表;现场互动将是该产品的核心，就像JORVIK的物理版本一样。虚拟游客将有机会与最小的物体（例如青蛙头骨）充分接触，并询问和回答“这是怎么来的？”“，到最独特的对象（一个维京海盗粪化石），以找出什么胃投诉，维京海盗是痛苦的。物理JORVIK博物馆包含了1,000年前维京时代英格兰生活的迷人证据，YAT希望找到一种方法将这种兴奋带到每个人的电脑屏幕上，以便将来真实的虚拟旅游能够蓬勃发展，并在经济上可行。为了了解这些最初的想法是否能够产生预期的影响和发展潜力，YAT于2021年2月新设计的维京海盗节-由于新冠病毒的限制，现已重新格式化为混合现场/虚拟活动-“That JORVIK维京海盗Thing”-将测试我们项目最初阶段创建的一些数字内容和范围。YAT将利用该扩展功能获得影响力资金，与约克Pilot Theatre的直播团队合作，播放维京海盗工匠在自己的工作坊中展示他们的艺术作品，与专家，学者和维京海盗重现者举行实时问答会议，以便现场，虚拟和屏幕观众可以同时参与，并提供独家访问我们的'JORVIKanory'会议与作者，包括特里Deary每日发布《恐怖的历史》（Horrible Histories）/Francesca Simon（可怕的亨利）阅读从她的新维京海盗为主题的儿童书籍，加上更多的独特的游客体验，最终在一个星期的新的数字互动与维京人。

At JORVIK Viking Centre visitors come 'face to face' with the Vikings, they tour the reconstructed Viking-age city and encounter the sights, sounds and smells of life over 1,000 years ago. Now, York Archaeological Trust (YAT), who discovered the remains of the Viking city and created the ground-breaking museum 36 years ago, are working to create the same interactive experience for on-line visitors. From discussing a lunch menu with a Viking, and learning useful Old Norse phrases, to being instructed on how to nålebind a sock and trim your hangerok with home-made tablet-weaving. These are just some of the interactive activities that JORVIK's new on-line museum wants to provide, alongside the opportunity to discuss with specialists in-depth and evolving research and discoveries, such as African influenced Viking casserole dishes or forensic investigations exploring fingerprints found on ancient pottery.YAT wants to create a new style of online museum that is not just centred around images of objects, academic information, worksheets and lists of facts; live interaction will be at the core of the offer, as it is at the physical version of JORVIK. Virtual visitors will have the chance to engage fully with the smallest of objects (a frog skull for example) to ask and get answered 'how did that get there?', to the most unique of objects (a Viking coprolite) to find out what stomach complaints that Viking was suffering from. The physical JORVIK museum contains fascinating evidence of life in Viking-age England, 1,000 years ago, and YAT wants to find a way of bringing that excitement to everyone's computer screens, so that real virtual tourism can thrive, and be economically viable, in the future.To understand if these initial ideas can have the impact and developmental potential envisaged, YAT's newly designed Viking Festival in February 2021 - now reformatted due to the Covid-19 restrictions as a hybrid live / virtual event - 'That JORVIK Viking Thing' - will test some of the digital content and scope created in the original phase of our project. Using the extension for impact funding YAT will work alongside the live-streaming team from York-based Pilot Theatre to broadcast Viking craftspeople demonstrating their artistry from their own workshops, host real-time Q & A sessions with specialists, academics and Viking re-enactors, so that simultaneous live, virtual and screened audiences can participate, and offer exclusive access to daily releases of our 'JORVIKanory' sessions with authors including Terry Deary (Horrible Histories) and Francesca Simon (Horrid Henry) reading from her new Viking themed children's books, plus many more unique visitor experiences, culminating in a whole week of new digital interaction with the Vikings.
