Workshop: VR in Architecture Exhibitions, August 8-9, 2017
Studies of the use of VR technology in architecture and museum exhibition practices are ongoing until early 2018. The studies are based on one of Atelier Oslo's works that was modeled and produced using largely digital tools, and was exhibited in physical form at the museum in 2013. The studies explore visitors' meaning making and sensory experiences of the work, including movement, sound, temperature and touch, in a new VR exhibition context. Planning of the design experiments was kicked off in a 2-day workshop with Atelier Oslo, NOTAM and researchers from the Royal College of Art. This is a significant undertaking for both the project and the museum, which has contributed extra resources to the experiments and studies through Digilab. The installations and visitor studies will take place at the Architecture Museum.
