“LoGaCulture: Locative Games for Cultural Heritage” is a substantial international multidisciplinary research project covering 10 different partners across Europe funded for 3 years by EU Horizon and the UKRI. You will join our project team at Southampton University, within Electronics and Computer Science, to pursue world leading research in the design and development of locative cultural games.

LoGaCulture will investigate and develop the state of the art in locative mixed reality games for cultural heritage. The team at Southampton, based in Web and Internet Science (WAIS) within Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), will be leading the work on a cultural deployment at the National Trust site at Avebury with a particular focus on social visiting and immersion, and will prototype suitable technology, work with designers to create an experience using that technology, and evaluate the visitor experience.

You will be undertaking this research under the guidance and leadership of the principal and co investigators and in collaboration with the wider international research team. You will have the opportunity to research the state of the art in this area, select appropriate technologies, develop those technologies into working frameworks, systems, or apps, work with creatives to create games using those tools, evaluate the user experience, write relevant research papers and articles, and present the work at international conferences and meetings.
