On November 13th, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World faculty member Prof. Sebastian Heath welcomed Prof. Peter Cobb from Hong Kong University for a fascinating discussion on the use of Augmented and Mixed Reality (AR/MR) in archaeological fieldwork!

A visionary in prehistoric studies and digital innovation, Prof. Cobb shared insights from his groundbreaking experiments with the Ararat Plain Southeast Archaeological Project (APSAP), conducted in collaboration with the Armenian Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography. Using AR/MR headsets, APSAP has been able to enhance excavation, 3D modeling, and digital restoration and manipulation.
