This is more evident in the case of novel interactive technologies that fascinate the broad public, as has always been the case with virtual reality. The increas-ing development of VR technologies has matured enough to expand research from the military and scientific visuali-zation realm into more multidisciplinary areas, such as edu-cation, art and entertainment. This paper analyzes the inter-active virtual environments developed at an institution of informal education and discusses the issues involved in de-veloping immersive interactive virtual archaeology projects for the broad public.
