The RIT Center for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction, and Creativity (MAGIC), in conjunction with the College of Liberal Arts, is pleased to announce a project between RIT and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles to explore the use of games and mobile applications to assist and extend participants understanding and engagement with the Getty’s collection at the Getty Villa. The Getty Villa in Malibu, California is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. This multi-disciplinary project is a collaboration by partners across RIT, including Performing Arts and Visual Culture of Liberal Arts and the School of Interactive Games & Media in the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing & Information Sciences. This work will be led by Assistant Professor Elizabeth Goins from the Department of Performing Arts and Visual Culture, and Associate Professor Christopher Egert from IGM. Funding for this work is provided by the Getty Museum, and will support students in the development of an iOS prototype application to explore this topic.
