September 2023: Retold Meeting at Steinzeitpark Dithmarschen (DE)

Date
-

For the semi final meeting of the RETOLD Project, we go to Albersdorf in Northern Germany. Again this is mainly an internal project meeting. We will be testing the RETOLD app which is meant for documentation of houses and crafts. The Steinzeitpark Dithmarschen is an excellent place to try this out as we do not just want to capture data, but see how the existing analog and digital data of an open-air museum can be fed into the system of RETOLD. We aim to discuss the relevance of this app and the RETOLD project in general with other museum professionals. After this meeting, we will be tweaking our products, some more testing over the winter, and then we should be good to go and share the results with other museums.
