Digitalisation meets the Middle Ages

Smartphones and touchscreens could turn museum visits into a digital and multimedia experience. In the months ahead, an example of this can be seen in Admont Abbey in Austria. In a special exhibition, the abbey is presenting fragments of the “Admonter Abrogans,” a Latin-German dictionary from the period of around 800. The cultural treasures have been made accessible through a multi-media presentation, which researchers of the Institute of CreativeMedia/Technologies at St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (Austria) has designed.
