IDIA Lab Cultural Heritage Projects

Over the past two decades, the Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts at Ball State University (IDIA Lab) has produced a diverse array of cultural and digital heritage projects across virtual reality, museum exhibits, mobile apps, and augmented reality. Their VR and 3D simulations have brought to life historical environments—from immersive reconstructions of the 1915 San Francisco World’s Fair, complete with laser-scanned sculptures, to a NASA-data-informed virtual model of the pre-Incan site of Pumapunku in modern-day Bolivia. They’ve developed mobile and locative apps such as the Mesa Verde AR Visitor Interpretation App (preserving Ancestral Puebloan heritage) and numerous interpretive and locative mobile heritage tours. The Lab’s virtual reality work includes several museum exhibitions, including an AR diorama of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, animated museum models, and interactive mobile experiences integrating 3D overlays, sound, and storytelling. These efforts combine historical, cultural, and archaeological narratives with archival information to provide immersive learning environments, support heritage interpretation, and deepen public engagement with the past.
