We haven't posted anything in a while about our @NEH_ODH Virtual Viking Longship Project, but we're still working hard on it! Paden Houck '27 is the @GrinnellCollege 3D Artist who, with Alex Bond '27, has done a deep dive on Viking weapons. Here's what he made in Blender:

An update on the great work our undergraduate research partners @CarletonCollege and @GrinnellCollege having been doing on our @NEH_ODH funded #viking #VR #DH project
Viking ships & virtual reality might seem oceans apart, but a recent partnership between students & faculty at Carleton & @GrinnellCIEL is bringing them together! The Virtual Viking Longship Project uses virtual reality and 3D modeling to explore them: https://t.co/m4EcSmHnaw

Such a treat to get to board a #viking longship reconstruction today and interview two members of the crew. Our student coresearchers will incorporate the filmed footage in the #vr experience we’re developing with a #dh grant form @NEH_ODH
Students from the Virtual Viking Longship dev team climbed aboard the Hjemkomst with Marke Hilde and Paul Hesse to record their stories of the 1982 voyage to Norway #DigitalHumanities #VR CC: @CarletonCollege @GrinnellCollege @NEH_ODH

I mean, who *wouldn't* want to be an excellent liberal arts college with top-notch faculty, intellectually engaged students, and a beautiful campus? Our Midwestern humility is a plus
Carleton College was picked the most times as a peer by over 50 institutions in 2021-22. Who chose your college?

Awesome #ExperimentalArchaeology work from @CarletonCollege ‘s Ellen Schlick! Read her interview and check out the lab write up from students in the #ExArc class taught by Prof. Jake Morton for more details on Roman baking with faro
#PeoplingBlog is back! Today, we interview Ellen Schlick, an undergrad at @CarletonCollege, who takes us through her recreations of Roman bread-making using recipes from Cato’s De Agricultura. Read on to see some mouthwatering culinary experiments! /1 https://t.co/sIKkQgJDyY

This is great! I love how #3D modeling projects lend themselves to this kind of analog to digital and back again conversion #DH
Hunter Omerzo ('24) took the 3-D reconstruction of a Homeric ship created by @meDHieval and Rob Hardy (@CarletonClassic) for DCC and 3-D printed it! https://t.co/12M6rhIx3R
