Abstract

Suvremeni se svijet suočava sa sve bržim razvojem informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologija, i sve učestalijim korištenjem digitalnih medija u svakodnevnom životu, što dovodi do pojave novih oblika učenja na neformalnoj i informalnoj razini. Kako digitalni mediji pronalaze svoje mjesto u obrazovanju, tako se pojavljuje i prostor da se njihove mogućnosti iskoriste unutar područja muzeja i baštine, pogotovo pri komunikaciji informacija o baštini. Jedan od trenutno aktualnih medija su videoigre koje pojedincu omogućuju da „uroni“ u drugi svijet, razvije intrinzičnu motivaciju i osobnije iskustvo od drugih medija (mrežnih stranica, slika, filmova, itd.). Videoigre mogu biti snažan alat za predstavljanje kulturne baštine na inovativan, zanimljiv i interaktivan način. U ovom radu se naglasak stavlja na analizu načina na koje se baština interpretira u videoigrama, analizu komunikacije u kontekstu njezine vjerodostojnosti i iskoristivosti izvan industrije zabave (određivanje granice između obrazovnih i zabavnih aspekata videoigara), određivanje ciljane skupine takvih igara te mogućnosti direktnog povezivanja videoigara s muzejskim postavima i izložbama. U radu se također raspravlja o opasnostima do kojih može doći kroz nestručno predstavljanje baštine u videoigrama.

Abstract (english)

Modern world is faced with an ever faster and efficient development of information and communication technology; with digital media having earned its place in everyday lives of the wider public, new approaches to learning have found their way to non-formal and informal education. As implementation of digital media is finding its foothold in education, new opportunities are arising for museums and heritage to use the possibilities of such media, especially when communicating information regarding heritage. One of the most prominent media of today are video games, along with their specific ability to allow individuals an immersive experience; as such, video games are allowing individuals to develop intrinsic motivation and enjoy a personal experience different from other media (web sites, movies, photographs, etc.). Video games hold the potential to be a powerful tool for the presentation of cultural heritage in an inovative, interesting and interactive way. This thesis serves as a gateway into the world of video games and its possibilites in the realm of heritage; it analyses different ways heritage is currently interpreted in video games, discusses communication in the context of its trustworthiness and usability outside the entertainment industry (identifying the border between educational and entertaining aspects of video games), determining target groups and the possibilities of setting up a direct connection between video games and museum exhibits. Dangers of unprofessional presentation of heritage through video games is also discussed throughout the thesis as well as suggestions on how it could be handled in the future.
