Ancient Theatre of Miletus: A Virtual Reality Research Tool for Studying Written Artefacts

Virtual reality (VR) can introduce new perspectives and methods to existing research fields, such as the humanities. We present a VR research tool for facilitating the study of so-called ‘Written Artefacts’ (WA). The tool was created as part of an interdisciplinary research project and displays the WA in their spatial context: the ancient theatre of Miletus. We closely collaborated with researchers from the humanities and implemented different features for visualizing content, filtering information, and changing perspectives on the research data in VR. Our demo gives users access to the immersive research environment and allows them to explore the virtual theatre of Miletus and its WA.
