The VR experience designed by Dr. Ceperkovic, is the latest iteration of MaSC’s work in experimental ethnography and takes the spectator on a virtual visit to the Abu Dhabi’s House of Artisans where several artifacts developed by the artisans can be appreciated. The 3-minute, short-version presentation of the main presentation at the conference won the third prize.
