At the HKU CommonCore Student Learning Festival, HKU students from the course #CCHU9080 – Dead People’s Things: #Excavating the Past with #Archaeology showcased an #immersive #VR experience that brought past sites to life. By creating detailed 3D models of #ancient monuments, the students invited visitors to step into the past and explore human experiences through the lens of material culture. This #interdisciplinary project combined archaeology, digital media, and storytelling to examine how objects shape our understanding of our past and identity. The VR experience not only highlighted the emotional and ethical dimensions of preserving “old things,” but also encouraged participants to reflect on how the tangible world around us connects our past with our present and future. The event perfectly embodied the spirit of the festival—bringing together #creativity, scholarship, and innovation across disciplines.

在香港大學#通識課程的學生學習節上，#CCHU9080——「逝者之物：#考古學探索過去」課程的學生展示了一場#沉浸式#VR虛擬實境的體驗，讓昔日遺跡重現生機。透過創造#古蹟#的精細3D模型，學生們邀請參觀者走進過去，透過物質文化的視角探索人類經驗。這個#跨學科項目結合了考古學、數位媒體和敘事藝術，探討實物如何影響我們對過去和身分的理解。 VR體驗不僅凸顯了保護「古物」的情感和倫理層面，也鼓勵參與者反思周遭的實體世界如何將我們的過去與現在和未來連結起來。這次活動完美地體現了學習節的精神－匯聚跨學科的#創造力、學術和創新。

This past Wednesday marked the beginning of our exploratory journey into “things” as part of the HKU Common Core course #CCHU9080 Dead People’s Things: Excavating the Past with Archaeology. We're excited to introduce first- and second-year students to the world of #archaeology using #interdisciplinary tools and #global examples! 

我們對「事物」的探索之旅在上週三啟航，這是#香港大學 Common Core 課程 #CCHU9080 Dead People’s Things: Excavating the Past with Archaeology 的一部分。我們很高興能夠利用跨學科工具和全球例子向一年級和二年級學生介紹#考古學 的世界！
