    abstract = "A growing body of research testifies to the capacity for archaeological and other cultural heritage sites to generate wonder, attachment, personal transformation and restoration, family bonding and community building among their visitors. However, these aspects of heritage site visits are underexplored, especially in the design of digital tools and experiences. This chapter focuses on shared experience and the impact that digital technology can have in promoting the cultural site as a social space. Digital technology in museums and archaeological sites, if appropriately designed, provides the potential to support groups and social interactions among their members. The design of digital applications for visitors has to date been geared towards the individual rather than the group, primarily because it is difficult to conceive and implement shared experiences with and around personal devices. In the early steps to bring digital applications to the world of heritage, the fostering of collaboration and dialogue was a main concern. © 2020 selection and editorial matter, Hannah Lewi, Wally Smith, Dirk vom Lehn and Steven Cooke."
