In view of the ever-increasing use of interactive and emerging
technologies in museum spaces, Museums and Technologies of Presence
rethinks the role of such technologies as potential facilitators of
presence, and as vehicles for offering new, immersive, and embodied
visitor experiences. This edited collection presents theoretical
approaches and case studies that explore how presence can be
experienced in museum spaces and what role technology can play in
visitor experiences. It considers the theoretical underpinnings of
the concept ‘presence’ for museum spaces, offering a critical
examination of how immersive and other emerging technologies can
affect, diminish or enhance our sense of presence and embodiment.
Through an international range of case studies and innovative
projects, this volume considers emerging technologies – including
virtual reality, augmented reality, interactive (multisensory)
installations and AI – alongside different aspects of presence,
including immersion, embodiment, empathy, emotion, engagement and
affect. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Museums and
Technologies of Presence will be beneficial to those researching or
studying in the fields of Museum Studies, Digital Humanities,
Computer Science, Information Science, and Digital Media. It will
also be useful to museologists, curators and artists who are
interested in developing immersive experiences, experimental new
media and immersive aesthetics.
