Join us at the V&A for two days of Universal Viewer related discussion.

Day one will cover features and user experience, examining user stories submitted by the community. These include design proposals from Stanford’s UX team, and how the UV should handle an increasingly diverse range of interoperable content (text, AV, 3D, other renderings). We aim to reach a consensus on the best way forward.

Location

Seminar Room 2, Sackler Centre, V&A (Exhibition Road Entrance)

Hosted By

UVCON is held at the V&A as part of the V&A Research Institute (VARI), a five-year programme of research projects and partnerships supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It takes the V&A's pioneering research culture into a new phase that allows the Museum to experiment with new ways of studying, displaying and accessibly storing its collections. VARI will give better access to the V&A's objects and join its experts with academic scholars, practicing artists, designers and makers and members of the general public.

Universal Viewer will be particularly used by two VARI projects:,

https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/deciphering-dickens
Deciphering Dickens, an unparalleled collection of original manuscripts and proofs for most of Dickens' novels;

https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/leman-album-an-enhanced-facsimile
The Leman Album, an 18th-century volume containing Europe's earliest dated silk designs - close to 100 astonishingly vibrant drawings on paper.
