Beschreibung
This book explores ways to help in the preservation of inspirational environments and memory sites through the use of panoramic interactive film techniques where the viewer is able to traverse the panoramic environment. The panoramic content is photo-realistic compared with computer-generated environments. This research is based on two case studies. The case study of Charles Church in Plymouth represents a topical approach to narrative and focuses on the preservation of the memory of the Blitz in Plymouth using the ruin of Charles Church which stands as a silent reminder of this event. The case study of Charles Causley gives viewers the opportunity to learn about his life and places that provided inspirations for his poems. This uses a topographical approach where viewers can traverse a panoramic environment around the town of Launceston to examine places of interest linked to Causley's life. The book critically explores, through practice, what can be done and reflects on how the preservation of cultural memory can be enhanced through these techniques. The recommendations from this book can be seen as valuable contributions to the study of intermedia and cultural memory in general.
