Deaf VR spaces and VR archaeology

A friend of mine has published an article in ‘British Archaeology’ on Virtual Reality archaeology which contains an interior view of the Deaf Church that stood on Oxford Street reconstructed from a photo that we have from the early 20th century.

The argument is that by reconstructing lost environments, we can continue to do archaeology in them, even if they are only virtual. The Deaf spaces of St Saviour’s are a good candidate… we know how they were designed, but little about how effective the physical environments were when they were occupied and used.
