Gilányi, AttilaWamuyu, Michelle2023-04-242023-04-242023-04-23https://hdl.handle.net/2437/350663"Touring through time with virtual reality" is an interesting thesis that looks at how virtual reality can be used for historical preservation and education. The thesis uses Lamu Island in Kenya, a UNESCO world heritage site, as a case study and also documents the process of creating a 3D model of the island using Sketchup and Lumion. It covers both the advantages and disadvantages of virtual reality technology in this setting, therefore providing guidance for scholars and those who use the technology. The thesis also makes a strong case for the use of virtual reality in historical preservation and teaching, and provides a more immersive understanding of the island's history and significance, enabling visitors to experience its cultural richness firsthand. In general, "Touring through time with virtual reality" is a new and interesting way to explore and protect cultural heritage sites, and is a useful contribution to the field of heritage studies merged with technology.58enCultural Tourism.3D Modelling.Historical Preservation.Digital Reconstruction.Active Learning.Virtual Reality.DEENK Témalista::Informatika::SzámítógéptudományHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
