An interdisciplinary, collaborative project between Grinnell College, Carleton College, The Viking Museum Haithabu, and The Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County to create an immersive Virtual Reality experience for visualizing the social and cultural roles of a Viking Age longship by cultivating deep competencies in spatial computing within the context of a liberal arts education.
