 Tom Chandler is a senior lecturer at Monash University. His research has focused upon the design and development of immersive simulations of the past, particularly the medieval Cambodian capital of Angkor. In what is the first interview of the series Lachlan speaks with Tom about how immersive virtual recreations can transform our imagination of the 'skeletal remains' of Angkor. The uses of this research for historians as well as the resources that Tom and his team at the Virtual Angkor Project are discussed, as well as his thoughts on technology and archaeology.

If you want to get in shape but you’re too busy to hit the gym, you need to at least get yourself up and active. Walk. Park on the far side of the parking area. There are lots of ways to do such things, and they don’t need to be very time consuming or costly at all. 18/10/2023 11:19:59 pm
I am excited to see this interview series on the topic of immersive virtual recreations of the past. Tom Chandler's work on the Virtual Angkor Project is particularly fascinating, as it is one of the most ambitious and sophisticated projects of its kind. I am curious to learn more about how Chandler and his team are using technology to bring the ancient city of Angkor back to life, and how their work is transforming our understanding of the past. I believe that immersive virtual recreations have the potential to revolutionize the way we learn about and interact with the past. They can help us to visualize and understand complex historical events and sites in a more visceral and engaging way. I am particularly interested in the potential of immersive virtual recreations to make history more accessible to people who may not have the opportunity to visit historical sites in person.
