Explore the transformative potential of immersive virtual worlds in historical research and education with this introductory workshop led by Dr. Roger Martínez-Dávila. This session will provide scholars and educators with a foundational understanding of how 3D environments, digital reconstructions, and interactive simulations can be used to visualize historical spaces, engage students, and enhance scholarly analysis. Using real-world examples from his own digital history projects, Dr. Martínez-Dávila will discuss tools, workflows, and best practices for integrating virtual worlds into teaching and research. No prior technical experience required—just curiosity and a passion for innovation!
