Ava is a WebVR archaeological experience created by Diego González and Peter O'Shaughnessy that allows users to virtually explore archaeological sites and learn about the archaeological process. The experience aims to incorporate VR with existing archaeological assets to enable the creation of VR experiences by non-VR experts and spread knowledge about archaeological findings. User feedback suggests Ava helps ignite children's imaginations about past landscapes and structures and sparks discussions about life in historical periods like the Scottish Bronze Age.
