Material motion: motion analysis for virtual heritage reconstruction
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 12:33 authored by Stuart Dunn, Kirk WoolfordThrough the AHRC funded, 'Motion in Place Platform' project, a number of experiments were conducted to look for quantitative differences in movement in virtual vs material environments. Actors were asked to enact a number of activities hypothesised to have occurred in a British Iron Age roundhouse while wearing inertial motion capture suits. These activities were recorded both in a “virtual” studio (re)construction as well as material (re)construction at Butser Ancient Farm. The data from these experiments was then analysed to look for differences in movement which could be attributed to artefacts and/or environments. This paper explains the structure of the experiments, how the data was generated, how it has been analysed, and what theories may make sense of the data and what conclusions have been drawn about how objects and environments may influence human movement and how a better understanding of movement many help understand empirical remains.
