@UoNArch are at Housesteads on Hadrian’s wall with @WillBowden1 and @Buildingbod - it’s atmospheric! (that means cold…)

@PalaeoHan Oh gosh so am I! I’d forgotten that started today.

We had a brilliant time yesterday showcasing how digital technology can be used to experience and reimagine Nottingham’s caves! A huge thank you to our participants for sharing their expertise and enthusiasm for Nottingham’s heritage #CityofCaves

Thanks to @Castle_Studies for open access publishing my article on @NTTattershall Castle in the 13th Century. Most scholarship has focused on the 15thC castle so this has been a great opportunity to look at the origins of the site.

We had LOTS of fun with @BeingHumanFest participants exploring photogrammetry and VR in the context of #NottinghamCaves. Here’s a glimpse of our PI @Buildingbod explaining the 3D magic at @Nottm_Contemp. Thank you @ArtsDigitalHub for running the event with us & @DrAnnaWalas.

[University of Nottingham's City of Caves Project @UoNCaves]

Over 300 people have attended our events so far, & we are only 1/3 through the @BeingHumanFest. Tonight we have more tours of the @WollatonHall caves, tmr we will be at @cityofcaves providing you with more cave heritage goodness.
