Unity Written Artefacts Infopanel template for displaying text and images inside the Virtual Theatre of Miletus. The template contains sample text and content and is provided as a Unity Prefab and uses only Unity Components. Additional Scripts for interacting with the panel are removed - depending on the use case and platform, custom scripts have to be created and added. The template is packed inside a .zip-file and contains two versions of the prefab - one using UHH fonts and one using Unity fonts. It also includes a sample image and Unity .meta-files. After unpacking, copy all files from the folder into the Unity Asset folder to use the template.
The interdisciplinary project RFB02 "Immersive City Scripts: Inscriptions and the Construction of Social Spaces in Miletus (Asia Minor)" investigates how inscriptions structured public spaces in the ancient city Miletus and Didyma. Part of the project is an immersive virtual reality application of the Milesian theatre, where you can explore and experience the inscriptions with the help of reconstructions, different light settings and agents in the virtual space. The project belongs to the Research Field B “Inscribing Spaces” of the first phase (2019-2025) of the Cluster of Excellence “Understanding Written Artefacts”.
