Wissensräume: What Are They, Anyway?

On October 14, the University of Marburg’s “Wissensräume” will go live—but what exactly are they? What happens when you click on a university building on the map, and why can you enter some buildings that haven’t existed for a long time? Thomas Winzer explains how 360-degree photos, 3D reconstructions, texts, videos, and games come together to create digital access to 500 years of university history. He also discusses who the platform is intended for and what the future holds.
