Abstract

This poster showcases an immersive XR museum installation that presents the emotional, experiential and environmental dimensions of intangible cultural heritage associated with the Calanais megalithic cultural heritage sites, located in Scotland. The installation consists of an XR mobile app on a tablet device, a large interactive display app, and a directional speaker sound system that collectively create the immersive environment in which a range audiovisual media content – including animations based on human narratives of related intangible cultural heritage – is presented.
