8. The project has been developed by a Purdue faculty and student team led by Dr. Sorin A. Matei , who specializes in the social and cognitive impacts of new media. Visible Past is a location-aware learning environment geared toward the delivery, discovery, and storage of information, but using the spatial and temporal characteristics of that information as the organizing structure. The main Visible Past aim is to enhance research, classroom, and museum learning by harnessing the implicit space and time attributes of information while at the same time fully embracing the read/write ethic. “We intend for the platform to validate and extend a theoretical framework for humanities research and learning. We aim to establish a set of methodological tools for virtual reality, location-sensitive research and learning that can be extended to other environments and, indeed, other disciplines.” An example of the effort to use qualitative study results such as those found in Case’s study to improve interface design based on the implications previously mentioned can be found in a project undertaken by a faculty/student group at Purdue University .
