Home, sense of place and visitors' intepretations of digital cultural immersive experiences in museums. An application of the 'embodied constructivist GTM digital ethnography in situ' method.

摘要

What is the relationship between the visitor's hybrid identity and his/her interpretation process? How can his/her relationship with one or more places affect the understanding of a real place, a virtual place, or a digital representation of a real place through augmented panoramas? This paper will answer these two research questions, interpreting the patterns emerging from data collected about visitors' experiences in the immersive environment PLACE-Hampi, designed by Sarah Kenderdine and Jeffrey Shaw. The paper is based on a method which the author calls "embodied constructivist GTM digital ethnography in situ".
