Dr. Rozhin Kamal, a lecturer at the Sulaimani Polytechnic University and director of the Digital Cultural
Heritage Research Center, was invited to write a chapter in a book by Professor Alexandria Bonya, the
head of the museum's program at the British University of UCL-Branch, following her presentation of a
seminar on her work during her invitation and visit to the British University of UCL-Branch as a senior
visitor researcher.

Alexandria Bonya, who is now at the University as a postdoctoral researcher at the Museum Laboratory
of the Interactive Media Research Center at Cyprus University of Technology in Greece and D. Antigon
Heraclido Smart Systems and Emerging Technologists in Cyprus, will be released this month (January

Dr. Rozhin Kamal discusses the creative role of real-life creative technology in enhancing the experience
of museums, buildings, and cultural heritage sites in this chapter. Dr. Rozhin introduces readers to the
use of innovative technologies to experience cultural heritage related to difficult events such as the
Yezidi genocide in the second part of the chapter by analyzing the design of the "Nobody's listening"
