The project will test the effectiveness of Virtual World Technology (VWT) for archaeological interpretation and dissemination. The research project is aimed at scholars and students of Roman archaeology, architecture, and culture, but it also has the potential to generate insights and results that archaeologists of other periods and cultures will find helpful as they adopt VWT. A testbed will be created which is a virtual world representation of Hadrian?s Villa (Tivoli, Italy). Hadrian's Villa is the best known and best preserved of the imperial villas built near Rome by its emperors. The project will attempt innovate use of VWT avatar observation as a form of scholarly research and teaching. Using this designed space, undergraduates will take on the role of particular avatars who will be required to maintain ways of being that are consistent with their defined role. Graduate students will observe their interactions as a means of testing and possible challenge the existing thesis about how this complex space functioned.

该项目将测试虚拟世界技术（VWT）在考古解释和传播方面的有效性。该研究项目面向罗马考古学、建筑学和文化领域的学者和学生，但它也有可能产生见解和结果，其他时期和文化的考古学家在采用 VWT 时会发现它们很有帮助。 将创建一个测试平台，它是哈德良别墅（意大利蒂沃利）的虚拟世界代表。哈德良别墅是罗马皇帝在罗马附近建造的最著名、保存最完好的皇家别墅。 该项目将尝试创新地使用 VWT 化身观察作为学术研究和教学的一种形式。 使用这个设计的空间，本科生将扮演特定化身的角色，他们将被要求保持与他们定义的角色一致的存在方式。 研究生将观察他们的互动，作为测试手段，并可能挑战有关这个复杂空间如何运作的现有论文。
