    From Eye-to-Eye to Hand-in-Hand: Collaborative Solution Building in Interdisciplinary Manuscript Research
    (INF-DH-2018, 2018) Rajan, Vinodh; Stiehl, H. Siegfried
    Among the various interdisciplinary domains, Digital Humanities is one of the most interesting as it attempts to bring two competing cultures together. But this interestingness eventually comes with its own problems when trying to produce practical solutions. How does one ideally approach to build an Informatics-based solution for a research question in the Humanities? We particularly focus on the field of Interdisciplinary Manuscript Research and propose a methodology inspired by design thinking to collaboratively build solutions through interactive exploration. To this end, we present our laboratory, where this methodology is to be actively put into practice.

    Immersive Inscribed Spaces – Bringing Virtuality to Written Artefacts for Humanities
    (i-com: Vol. 21, No. 1, 2022) Gabel, Jenny; Berns, Christof; Bosch, Sebastian; Eickmeyer, Jost; Harter-Uibopuu, Kaja; Martin, Nathalie; Osthof, Ann Lauren; Steiger, Johann Anselm; Steinicke, Frank
    Writing is an essential cultural technique, and the resulting artefacts are an important part of cultural heritage. The Cluster of Excellence ‘Understanding Written Artefacts’ is an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural long-term project dedicated to studying so-called ‘written artefacts (WA)’. Our work introduces immersive technologies such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality to the research cluster for the first time. In this paper, we outline the scope of our research project and present our current implementations of immersive applications based on two scenarios involving inscribed spaces. So far, immersive technologies have not been used in academia to create research focused applications for exploring, analysing, and understanding WA within their inscribed space, including providing access to appropriate spatial and temporal contexts. Thus, we collaborate closely with researchers from the humanities to create interactive and immersive applications for the novel field of WA research. The results of our preliminary user study show high ratings in the sense of presence in the virtual environments and indicate that immersive spatial context could add new perspectives for understanding WA. We hope to provide valuable insights on the design of immersive applications to support future research in novel fields.
