1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Glossopticon: visualising archival data" ?
This paper will outline the project, the way it has used VR to visualise information and how it has been used on multiple levels—from public exhibition piece, to research tool—and in doing so provides an exemplar of the notion of the collaborative, interdisciplinary project as a basic unit of scholarly investigation within the digital humanities..
