Createch

Using technology, creativity and heritage to build a better digital future for all.

Theme lead

Dr Anita Greenhill

Scope of Theme

Working with our cultural assets, external organisations and communities, we will explore how technologies ranging from digital preservation to virtual and augmented reality will provide unprecedented access to cultural heritage, create new cultural experiences, and redefine the media and creative industries landscape.

Strengths

Areas of strength include:

• Transforming physical heritage materials into digital versions for online storage, presentation, and analysis
• Representing data visually in graphs, plots, charts and maps
• Discovering and extracting knowledge from the patterns and trends found in large sets of text documents

The University of Manchester is central to the history of computing.
