Approach and focus at Newport

• Newport’s IDL and SWCHIR have been collaborating since 2008. This convergence collaboration has brought together digital creatives, historians and archaeologists to respond to the exciting opportunities arising from the Digital Heritage and Digital Tourism needs of our region.

Approach and focus at Newport

• The IDL’s digital heritage r&d focus is on enabling creative interactive media experiences for heritage engagement, learning and participation - online, on mobile and in virtual worlds.

• • For SWCHIR there is also a focus on the application of digital analysis

to regional historical and archaeological investigations alongside Viewsheds and Social Network analysis.

• Working with a wide range of partners from the Heritage, Tourism and Voluntary sectors in Wales a number of key research questions have arisen:

Approach and focus at Newport
