Cultural Significance Erik Champion DIGHUMLAB.DK ABSTRACT Academic discourse (of the historical sciences) presupposes a vast domain of related background knowledge learnt yet creative technique of extrapolation But NOT the experiential detective work of experts that visit the real site. Fact or fiction, History or history Scholarly knowledge does not easily translate to audience knowledge; nor is scholarly knowledge necessarily the type of knowledge that would best engage the public. Is it preferable for the audience to learn about a collection of culturally situated past experiences, or a strictly academic procession of historical events? TRACES OF THE WORLD VH Data includes the remains, hypotheses, intangible heritage, audience background and motivation Digitally mediated technology can replicate existing data but also modify the learning experience of through augmentation filtering constraining. BUT Virtual environments are not complex in their interactional history if VR is “being there”; the past and the present do not intermingle as they do in real places the many sub/conscious ways that people leave traces in the world are not conveyed in static 3D models. Discover Ancient Rome in Google Earth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqMXIR wQniA Image: http://www.virtualtripping.com/google- earths-rome-reborn/ 2008 London Charter remedies this? Virtual heritage is …the use of computer-based interactive technologies to record, preserve, or recreate artefacts, sites and actors of historic, artistic, religious, of cultural significance and to deliver the results openly to a global audience in such a way as to provide formative educational experiences through electronic manipulations of time and space.

Technology, graphics and storage and speed, (Augmented reality, nonphysical interaction) 2. Archaeological information 3. Training and ideas 4. Crowd sourcing, LBG, and social media 5. Interdisciplinary approaches Game components allow modification of the visual overlaid interface, the Heads Up Display (HUD) include avatars with triggered and re- scriptable behaviors and path-finding maps that demonstrate location, orientation, or the social attitude of non- playing characters in relation to the player imaginative use of technical constraints that add to the thematic fantasy, goal- direction and challenge necessary for an entertaining game. SO: How can games and interactive digital media in general help learning about archaeology? Types of games that MAY help.. Type of game (paper, Champion, GBL, 2008) Example in available games Tourist Game: enjoy off site from a safe and The new travel game genre, like comfortable distance. Weekend in Capri Puzzle Games: find what happened by ArcDig; Qin: Tomb of the Magic Kingdom, escape examining material remains, changes, epigraphy.. the Forbidden city by solving puzzles (traps etc.). Resource Management: understand the Civilization, Age of Empires, Tribal Trouble, speculative historical processes and formulae, Pharaoh, Caesar IV inhabitants’ relationships to their surrounds.. Historical Battles: Avoid being killed, take over The Total War Series, Battalion IV, Starcraft territory, learn military strategies. Role Playing Games The Elder Scroll series: Oblivion, Skyrim Control Games: These games aim to control Shadow of the Colossus, Darwin, Black and White or overcome inhabitants. Social Mashup: encounters via semi-controlled The Sims, Spore characters. Games that allow classroom role-playing of Halo, Unreal, Sims, The Movies history through in-game camera capture(machinima). Where the knowledge is learnt Deduction Exploration Augmented -ambient info Counterfactual inspiration Instrumental Performance (role-playing) Diegetic (narration) inside/outside VE versus mimesis OR external diegesis Cultural Significance Today, electronic games are an important vehicle for learning (Anderson, 2010; Dondlinger, 2007). At the minimum, a game is an activity that (1) typically has some goal in mind, something that the player works to achieve, (2) has systematic or emergent rules, and (3) is considered a form of play or competition (Oxford, 2010). Apart from “skill and drill” types of games, many are much more complex, providing an interactive narrative in which the player must test hypotheses, synthesize knowledge, and respond to the unexpected (Dondlinger, 2007). For historical situations or heritage the player/user/student should develop a deeper understanding rather than simply memorizing facts (Bloom, 1956). I wish to convey the cultural significance of what is represented and interacted with. What did X mean in time and space and culture and to whom? My past projects.. Question: How contextually appropriate interaction can aid the understanding of cultures distant and remote to the participant. Participants: university students, museum curators, travel writers, 3D visualization experts, language scholars, travellers and tourists. Tools: Unreal, Unity, Half-Life 2, NeverWinter Nights, Oblivion, Quest 3D, Adobe Atmosphere, Flash, StrataStudio, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Blender. Learning from disperience How unreliable digital media can be! Data collection is usually suspect. Theoretical notions of cultural learning are not designed to be easily tested, what is it and how can it be tested? Designers do not fully understand their own assumptions until they play test other designers. Greatest learning experience has been from designing these VEs, not from playing them. Gaps between the humanities and the technology researchers in VH is still alarming. Little simulation of rituals Do video games employ habitual social and personal activities closely related to ritual (Gazzard and Peacock 2011)? Any repetitious activity is NOT a ritual. Rituals, games, and game play narratives may lead to unpredictable outcomes yet rituals in the real-world tend to be closed rules are often indirect and learnt over many years, the ritual is experienced in a transcendental state outside distractions are minimized and ignored paradoxically, while the ritual is an important part of social bonding it can also reinforce social distinctions. In the real world the complicit attention and deference of participants is crucial and immediately sensed. Can we crowd-source? To what extent can users enrich their environment by personalizing it and communicating through it (Walters, Hughes and Hughes, 2011)? To what extent should users be thematically constrained by the environment itself? How much individual freedom can users have to interact with the environment at the risk of destroying immersion? IS Digital media a shop façade for the serious and scholarly past-time of reading and writing books (Parry 2005; Gillings, 2002). then how will the changing attention spans and learning patterns of new generations be best addressed (Mehegan, 2007)? Dreams Level design game games Augmented reality and mobile devices Physiological interaction New interaction inspirations World- builder Learning via craft not just spectacle Humbleness with distinctions Treating people as infrastructure *VMUST Get students to learn about historic events and literature through simple game design Journey to the West, recreated in NeverWinter Nights, a 12 week project by 3 students in 2006.

  • A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History
    Introduction This compilation was begun merely to be a synthesized, occasional source for other writings, primarily for familiarization with European world development. Gradually, however, it was forced to come to grips with the elephantine amount of historical detail in certain classical sources. Recording the numbers of reported war deaths in previous history (many thousands, here and there!) initially was done with little contemplation but eventually, with the near‐exponential number of Humankind battles (not just major ones; inter‐tribal, dynastic, and inter‐regional), mind was caused to pause and ask itself, “Why?” Awed by the numbers killed in battles over recorded time, one falls subject to believing the very occupation in war was a naturally occurring ancient inclination, no longer possessed by ‘enlightened’ Humankind. In our synthesized histories, however, details are confined to generals, geography, battle strategies and formations, victories and defeats, with precious little revealed of the highly complicated and combined subjective forces that generate and fuel war. Two territories of human existence are involved: material and psychological. Material includes land, resources, and freedom to maintain a life to which one feels entitled. It fuels war by emotions arising from either deprivation or conditioned expectations. Psychological embraces Egalitarian and Egoistical arenas. Egalitarian is fueled by emotions arising from either a need to improve conditions or defend what it has. To that category also belongs the individual for whom revenge becomes an end in itself. Egoistical is fueled by emotions arising from material possessiveness and self‐aggrandizations. To that category also belongs the individual for whom worldly power is an end in itself.

  • Abstract the Goal of This Project Is Primarily to Establish a Collection of Video Games Developed by Companies Based Here In
    Abstract The goal of this project is primarily to establish a collection of video games developed by companies based here in Massachusetts. In preparation for a proposal to the companies, information was collected from each company concerning how, when, where, and why they were founded. A proposal was then written and submitted to each company requesting copies of their games. With this special collection, both students and staff will be able to use them as tools for the IMGD program. 1 Introduction WPI has established relationships with Massachusetts game companies since the Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) program’s beginning in 2005. With the growing popularity of game development, and the ever increasing numbers of companies, it is difficult to establish and maintain solid relationships for each and every company. As part of this project, new relationships will be founded with a number of greater-Boston area companies in order to establish a repository of local video games. This project will not only bolster any previous relationships with companies, but establish new ones as well. With these donated materials, a special collection will be established at the WPI Library, and will include a number of retail video games. This collection should inspire more people to be interested in the IMGD program here at WPI. Knowing that there are many opportunities locally for graduates is an important part of deciding one’s major. I knew I wanted to do something with the library for this IQP, but I was not sure exactly what I wanted when I first went to establish a project.

Caesar has called upon you to enter into service to Rome. The Emperor is eager to expand his settlements and is seeking qualified executors who can implement his will. The Roman Empire is so vast and growing so rapidly that even our divine Caesar cannot hope to rule it alone. He needs capable provincial governors, and that is where you come in. Your goal is to build a thriving Roman City—a bastion of culture and commerce that reflects the glory of Rome itself. As you begin your career, the lands you administer will be small, but Caesar rewards success with promotions and more challenging assignments.

One of the most kindly and young spirited, he is also one of the most versatile of Greek writers, and his influence has worked by devious ways to the most varied results. His treatise on the Education of Children had the honour to be early translated into the gravely charming prose of Sir Thomas Elyot, and to be published in a black- letter quarto 'imprinted,' as the colophon tells us, 'in Fletestrete in the house of Thomas Berthelet.' The same work was drawn upon unreservedly by Lyly in the second part of Euphues, and its teachings reappear a little surprisingly in some of the later chapters of Pamela.
