For Our Virtual mapping project, We will work with Wardsend Cemetery in creating a digital installation to promote Wardsend Cemetery.
The Sheffield site has a rich history. It was the burial grounds for st. Philips Church is also one of the few cemeteries that have a train line running through it that was used to transport steel to and from the local steelworks. A portion of the graves are for soldiers fallen during the world wars as well as Sheffield locals. one story includes a man who was killed during a football match, whilst chasing the ball he hoped a wall that had a ditch on the other side.
Ideas for how we could create a VR Esperance.
creating a virtual tour and archive with photo scanning similar to how corridor digital did it with photogrammetry and web VR platform Mozila hubs.
In our meeting with a Wardsend representative they showed us paintings for the Sheffield museum . ____This brought the idea of bringing the painting to life similar to how other before have done it (as seen bellow) immersing the users inside a 3D world recreated using material projection methods along with sound and this also references back to our last units where we discussed Wanderer above the Sea of Fog in an exercise.
They have since got back and said they love the painting idea.
These examples above and bellow of work that recreates a painting for VR take creative liberty in extending the environment past the frame.
