Workshop 1

Digital Technologies and Domestic Textiles

University of Southampton, 19th March 2012

Aims:

to investigate what new computer-aided technologies can offer the study and presentation of historic domestic interiors.

Research questions:
  • What is the state of research on natural patterns of seeing? What technologies are used to investigate biological vision?
  • Can ‘eye-tracking’ be used to identify whether people respond differently to different kinds of image and surface?
  • How far can conservation analysis and digital visualisation tools accurately reconstruct the original appearance of interiors and objects (including historic lighting and atmospheric conditions)?
  • Can digital reconstructions offer multi-sensory experience?
  • What kind of specialist information and/or equipment is required accurately to reconstruct the original experience of interiors and objects in a given time and place?
