Space on Earth: Assessing the Feasibility of Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality for a Visitor Experience
There is growing interest in using mixed and virtual reality in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. This paper assesses the feasibility of situating such technologies in the visitor experience at Goonhilly Earth Station. Insights were gathered through three focus group studies conducted early in the design phase (N = 25), and questionnaires at three prototype showcase events (N = 72). This data reveals enthusiasm about the potential of immersive technology and willingness to pay for premium quality experiences. However, several considerations emerged, including: differing preferences and reservations between key audiences; the need to holistically package the experience; further consideration to encourage social interaction; and the need to address friction when using multiple technologies. Installation designers working with immersive technologies for visitor experiences should consider such concerns to enrich the quality of the visit

Women Writing Men: 1689-1869
As men have written women so women have always written men. Debate about how men have represented women in literature has a long and distinguished history; however there has been much less examination of the ways in which women writers depict male characters. This is clearly a notable absence given the recent rise in interest in the field of 18th and 19th century masculinities. This book explores how women writers create and question men and masculinity. Women writers were in a unique position to be able to deconstruct and examine cultural norms from a position away from the centre. This enabled women to ‘look aslant’ at masculinity using their female gaze to expose the ruptures and cracks inherent within the rigid formation of the manly ideal. This collection focuses on women’s representations of men and masculinity as they negotiate issues of class, gender, race, and sexuality
