A £5.6 million project to develop a virtual reality museum platform has been unveiled today.
The Museums in the Metaverse project is hoped to allow both professionals and amateurs to become “virtual curators”, building virtual and mixed-reality environments which can include 3D-scanned objects from collections.
Online visitors will then be able to visit these spaces via a VR headset from anywhere in the world.
