Iwadi

An immersive heritage research prototype combining AI-assisted reconstruction with a conversational guide.

Focus
Heritage reconstruction & AI guide integration
Format
VR research prototype · 2026
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.
