VRMS for Higgins Armory

VRMS* for the Higgins Armory would be useful since it was shut down and the building is not being used while the collection it housed is now with the Worcester Art Museum. I would love to allow the public not only access to the collection but to the incredibly unique Armory itself — through VR.

The Higgins used to put on demonstrations about the swords and armor. There could be sword fighting but perhaps an experience where you get to be in a blacksmith’s shop and work through forging some armor/sword.

Another option might be an VR or AR option where you dress for battle or ceremony or jousting — choosing appropriate gear and seeing various items in action as your body moves with them on.

*[Virtual Reality Museum Space]  I wrote up a proposal for what I called the VRMS — it’s somewhere on the site.
