Online Lecture

The Antiquities Museum and the Zahi Hawass Center for Egyptology; affiliated to the Bibliotheca Alexandria Cultural Outreach Sector, organize an online lecture entitled “Enhancing Museum Exhibitions through the Integration of Digital Technology into Physical Reality”. The lecture is delivered by Dr. Eslam Mahmoud Nofal, Department of Architectural Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Assiut University. The lecture will be broadcast on Thursday, 15 July 2021; 7:30 pm, on the “Bibliotheca Alexandrina Antiquities Museum” Facebook page.
The lecture sheds light on how heritage information can be communicated to museum visitors in more engaging, educational and meaningful ways. Thus, the approach of “Phygital Heritage” will be presented, which entails how heritage information can be disclosed via simultaneous and integrated physical and digital means. We hypothesize that this approach forms a potential medium for more engaging and meaningful communication of heritage information to a broader public. The lecture will also present a set of in-the-wild studies, in which interactive prototypes were designed and deployed in real-world heritage and museum environments to explore how the “Phygital” approach facilitates the communication of built heritage information to museum visitors and how it affects user engagement.
