LoGaCulture - Locative Games for Cultural Heritage
@logaculture.bsky.social
We are a #HorizonEurope #ResearchProject exploring how innovative #LocativeGames can be used to promote #CulturalHeritage and #NaturalHeritage across #Europe. Check out our full details here 👉 https://logaculture.eu
✨ How do people experience #MixedReality at #heritage sites — and how can we #design better tools to tell those stories? Our latest #LoGaCulture #research, led by @bournemouthuni.bsky.social Jack Brett and Charlie Hargood, shows how!

Not all #heritage can be seen or touched. ✨ Some lives in gestures, #songs, #stories — fragile threads that weave #communities across #generations. Within #LoGaCulture, we are also exploring this #IntangibleHeritage through #digital and #locative #design! #HorizonEurope

✨ It’s play understood as something deeply shaped by its context — the people, culture, materials, and environment that make it possible. In #LoGaCulture, we explore how games and playful practices carry local meanings and adapt to the worlds in which they unfold. #HorizonEurope

How can tech design reflect local culture?

In #LoGaCulture, we use #EthnographicMethods to ground #HumanComputerInteraction #HCI in real, #LivedExperience — exploring how #people, place & #technology interact. #Ethnography: less about observing users, more about understanding worlds. #HorizonEurope

Is immersive #AR in museums making us more connected or more isolated? 🧐 New LoGaCulture research shows that it doesn’t have to be that way, demonstrating that collaborative AR can enhance communication & make learning playful again! 🎮 🔗 logaculture.eu/news-events/... #HorizonEurope
