Fall 2022 - Class Information

This course is an introduction to a research field of digital cultural heritage, that examines the spatial and emotional experience facilitated by immersive and portable technologies. We will explore architectural design with special attention to how we feel inside it, by means of affective computing methods such as wearable technologies/bio sensors as well as AR/VR/XR and gamification. The lectures by the instructors and guest experts provide an overview of theories and research investigations on cultural heritage, design experience, and affective computing, while accompanied hands-on assignments provide students with opportunities to practice a series of experiments in three areas related to digital humanities: collection/management, visualization/immersion, and analysis/ interpretation.
