Few other Projects involving VOLUMEONE
Prof.Iwabuchi's team has been also approached by a group of people in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, who actively support local festivals of ethnic origin. This is probably a fine example of using video to preserve intangible cultural heritage to be shown and shared on the Web.
Another experiment that the team anticipates in this fall is to deliver museum content to kids in a hospital. This is also Prof.Iwabuchi's original intention in the use of VOLUMEONE, but not until now, they were able to find a proper hospital that is willing to collaborate on this type of experiment. With a full support of an understanding psychiatrist and physiologist, Prof.Ikuo Homma and his staff at Showa University Hospital and its Medical School, the team is finally planning to conduct experiments using museum content for K to 12 students in a classroom in the hospital. Children will participate in the experiments by permission of physicians and in accordance with their parents. They will be closely monitored by physicians, nurses and psychoanalysts as well throughout the experiments that will last for about 1 week.
