  5. I love that the #hku students still photograph the sunsets.

  6. The new publication, Keynotes HKU featured our work in its Sep 2025 issue, with an article entitled: ‘Immersive Archaeology: Securing the Human Past with Cutting-edge Technologies’

    In Armenia, #HKU researchers are advancing archaeology through #3D scanning, #drones, and #mixed reality (MR). Their work redefines excavation — allowing archaeologists to preserve and present while they discover.

  7. 🛠️ Exploring the Past Through Innovation
    Join us at the HKU InnoWing Carnival 2025 for a special talk on how technology is helping us better understand the ancient world.
    🗓️ September 25 | 14:30–15:30
    📍 Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing One, HKU
    📌 LED Wall & Brainstorming Area
    At HKU, archaeology meets engineering in a unique way. Each summer, our team runs a fieldwork project in Armenia, excavating a 3,000-year-old fortress. This work is also a chance for testing new tools — from 3D recording and AR/VR to machine learning and AI.
    The talk will highligh t how these technologies are shaping the way we explore the past, and how students can get involved in meaningful, hands-on research experiences.
    Whether you're curious about archaeology, passionate about innovation, or simply looking to learn something new, you're warmly invited to join us.
    🎙️ Speakers: Prof. Peter Cobb, Ms. Navya Gupta, Ms. Shuya Lu, Mr. Hayk Azizbekyan

  8. 🛠️ 以創新探索歷史
    歡迎參加HKU InnoWing Carnival 2025 的一場特別講座,探討科技如何幫助我們更好地理解古代世界。
    🗓️ 9月25日 | 14:30–15:30
    📍香港大學 Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing One
    📌LED牆及Brainstorming Area
    在香港大學,考古學以獨特的方式與工程學相遇。每年夏天,我們的團隊都會在亞美尼亞進行實地考察項目,挖掘一座擁有3000年歷史的堡壘。這項工作也是測試新工具的機會——從3D錄製、AR/VR到機器學習和人工智慧。
    講座將重點介紹這些技術如何塑造我們探索歷史的方式,以及學生如何參與有意義的實踐研究體驗。
    無論您是對考古學充滿好奇,對創新充滿熱情,還是只是想學習新知識,我們都誠摯邀請您加入我們。
    🎙️演講嘉賓:Peter Cobb 教授、Navya Gupta 女士、Shuya Lu 女士、Hayk Azizbekyan 先生

  9. 🌍 Ever thought about doing real archaeology outside the classroom?
    Kristy, a BA Humanities and Digital Technologies student from HKU, recently returned from an amazing two-week field trip in Armenia with the #ARTH2110 course — and it was epic. 🏺💥
    From digging trenches in the sunshine, finding ancient pottery and obsidian, to chilling with her host family and exploring Armenian culture — it wasn’t just about archaeology, but a completely different way of living. 🏞️✨
    She documented the whole journey, and it’s full of early mornings, hands-on discoveries, and some seriously wholesome village vibes. If you’re into the past, culture, or just want a cool summer experience — this is it. HKU students can start signing up for ARTH2110 summer 2026 this week! Read Kristy's full story and maybe you’ll be packing your bags next summer. 😉

  10. Sit-in for Palestine @ HKU Oudenoord

    HKU Oudenoord, Utrecht, maandag 26 mei om 12:00 CEST

    HKU for Palestine (source)

    Coming Monday the 26th of May, HKU4Palestine will organise a sit-in in the Atrium of Oudenoord.

    We do this to urge the CVB (College Van Bestuur) to finally meet our demands, listed below.

    Despite our numerous attempts to convince the CVB of the importance of these demands, after more than a year, the CVB has been incapable of meeting these demands and breaking ties with Israel.

    Therefore, we will inform the CVB that our demands have not changed.

    Please join our sit-in, attend our workshops and join forces. HKU students and staff, let’s finally mobilize!

    Our demands:

    •⁠ ⁠The HKU must write a statement that clearly rejects the genocide, disproportionate violence, and impending ethnic cleansing committed by Israel

    •⁠ ⁠The HKU must sever ties with Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design

    •⁠ ⁠The HKU must investigate any connections with Israeli institutions, companies and investors, making these public, and severing these ties

    🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

    Please bring some materials to make stuff for the protesting or for your own patches etc. think about fabric, cardboard and markers. Also please bring instruments so we can make some noise! (or nice music occasionally).

    The sit in will be inspired by the character of the UU encampment - so we can connect, learn and make a statement! If you can also bring food for the HKU Student Union’s potluck in the evening!

    Program (may change)

    12:00 Banner making
    12:30 Speech and chanting
    13:00 - 16:00 patch and button making
    14:00 Lecture
    15:00 Teach-in politics in the classroom
    16:00 Speech and chanting
    16:20 Marching to Nieuwekade
    17:00 Chanting at Nieuwekade and delivering message to CvB
    18:00 Potluck student union @ Paardenveld

  12. On April 14, 2025, TALIC hosted the seminar “Extending the Classroom: Teaching with Virtual Reality in Higher Education” at HKU, featuring Prof. Peter J. Cobb from the Faculty of Arts and facilitated by Prof. Lillian Luk.
    Drawing on pedagogical research and VR-based archaeology teaching, Prof. Cobb shared how immersive technologies can boost students’ engagement, enhance spatial and visual learning, and simulate fieldwork experiences—especially through 3D reconstructions of ancient sites.
    Participants discussed VR’s educational value, including its potential across disciplines, and had the chance to try out VR headsets in action. The seminar also addressed real-world challenges like cost and accessibility.
