Using Augmented Reality and Virtual Environments in Historic Places to Scaffold Historical Empathy
Sweeney, Sara K.; Newbill, Phyllis; Ogle, Todd; Terry, Krista
TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, v62 n1 p114-118 Jan 2018
The authors explore how 3D visualizations of historical sites can be used as pedagogical tools to support historical empathy. They provide three visualizations created by a team at Virginia Tech as examples. They discuss virtual environments and how the digital restoration process is applied. They also define historical empathy, explain why it is important, and discuss how it is taught.
