Place-ness required for Cultural presence To evoke +communicate historical situations or heritage values find deeper understandings not simply memorize facts (Bloom, 1956). Place is a cultural setting, it gives cultural interaction a time and a location, Crang (1998, p.103), Spaces become places as they become time-thickened Places do not just organise space, they orient, identify, and animate the bodies, minds, and feelings of both inhabitants and visitors. Cultural presence: a feeling in a virtual environment that people with a different cultural perspective occupy or have occupied that virtual environment as a place. 9 10. Definitions NEW MEDIA: the act of reshaping the user experience through the innovative use of digital media.
