- My contribution
- Practice-based research combining AI-assisted artefact reconstruction with a Convai guide in an Unreal Engine 5 prototype.
Context
Explore how generative AI reconstruction and a conversational guide could support immersive interpretation of underdocumented Nigerian heritage.
Creative decisions
The narrative guide distinguishes documented evidence from interpretation. Generated missing views are treated as approximations, evaluated against the surviving photographs.
Project delivery
A research prototype, reconstruction comparisons and a portfolio-dissertation.
Research prototype
Research prototype. No formal participant study was conducted. Undocumented geometry remains interpretive; the project does not claim measured improvements in engagement or learning.
Research & reconstruction evidence
Photographic evidence and AI-assisted reconstruction comparisons.
