Unpath’d Waters is a groundbreaking 3-year project aiming to unite the UK's maritime collections. Despite their significance, accessing scattered records is challenging. We're developing a VR application to make these collections easily searchable, benefiting researchers and the public, specifically the visually impaired community, non-coastal communities, and maritime researchers. This work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and lead by TANC (Towards a National Collection).
As part of the project, we're crafting a VR application to delve into maritime archives curated in a database with over 90,000 entries. We've organized voyages by theme, showcasing the wealth of available resources in an engaging manner.
