ABSTRACT
Emotions3D: Bringing Digital Heritage to Life is an online collection of digital cultural heritage objects from four UK museums, which are displayed in photorealistic three-dimensional rotation on a purpose-built website. This interactive resource was intended as a pilot study to showcase the potential for experiential or immersive 3-D technology in museums. The objects in the collection, generated using photogrammetry imaging, range chronologically from the Middle Ages to 1850, and are carefully annotated with content that tells their unique emotional histories. Emotions3D resource was developed into a curriculum package and is now being used to teach medieval and early modern material history in Western Australian secondary schools.
