PROMO: Virtual Reality Experiences with Rock Art and Cultural Heritage with Blue Planet and Eric Hanson - ROCK ART 89

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Archaeotech Podcast about representing cultural sites in VR.

Eric Hanson of Blue Planet is a specialist in employing virtual reality applications to the study and conservation of cultural heritage resources. He has pioneered the development of sophisticated methods to capture rock art and other indigenous imagery so that the general public and interested researchers can immerse themselves in a three-dimensional virtual gallery within the natural and cultural landscape. The technology has come a long way and the experience is now other worldly. Hanson's cutting-edge efforts allow for a 360 degree and parallax sensitive encounter.
