playtest
playtest is a convening featuring discussion and demos by creative technologists whose work has relevance to the application of V/AR and emerging media to humanities research, education and engagement.
Humanists, creative technologists, community scholars, artists, librarians, educators, anthropologists, archivists, social justice advocates, and journalists participate in sessions, which are structured as hands-on play-test demonstrations, moderated discussions, and workshops offering feedback on project prototypes.
playtest is organized by Tahir Hemphill the 4th Harisios Papamarkou Chair in Education at the John W. Kluge Center, Library of Congress. As Education Chair, Hemphill focused on the Library's role in the interaction between electronic and traditional knowledge. The John W. Kluge Center of the Library of Congress brings together scholars and researchers from around the world to stimulate and energize one another, to distill wisdom from the Library's rich resources, and to interact with policymakers and the public.
