More about the project
The Multisensory World of Vadstena Abbey in the Late Middle Ages is an interdisciplinary project that is exploring new methods in cultural heritage research, while promoting and developing collaboration among researchers. The project members study how music and acoustics interact with the medieval interior of Vadstena Abbey Church using 3D- and virtual reality technologies.
The project members are creating a virtual 3D-model of the church interior, which includes sound. This approach incorporates non-material aspects of cultural heritage and is an entirely new way of presenting one of Sweden’s most important medieval cultural heritage environments: churches. Thus, the 3D-model of the interior allows the visitor to digitally experience the sculptures, furnishings, and textiles in a fifteenth-century church. In addition, the computer acoustic simulation allows the visitor to test a variety of alternative acoustics.
