'The Small Witness' VR Project

This study explores how virtual reality (VR) can be used as an interpretive medium within museum contexts, with a particular focus on how digital materials, interaction, and narrative may shape emotional engagement with everyday objects. The project centres on Wally Dug, a ceramic dog associated with the Tenement House, and examines how a virtual encounter might foster intimacy, curiosity, and personal reflection prior to, and in relation to, a physical museum visit.
