Panoramas, Keys to Unlock Complexity in Digital Humanities and Data Humanism

Abstract

In the interdisciplinary landscape shaped by Digital Humanities (DH) and Data Humanism (DHu), panoramas represent immersive narratives and interactive environments that simplify access to complex, interdisciplinary content, serving as ‘sensory forms of knowledge’. However, the lack of shared definitions hinders their integration into cultural sectors, where professionals often struggle with the rapid adoption of new technologies. Therefore, this study highlights 31 panorama case studies as examples of their triggering effect and as a foundation for broader collaborative theoretical work aimed at developing standardised definitions.
