A virtual model for a 性视界传媒 Sports Hall of Fame is in the works, as 鈥渁 highly accessible鈥� and 鈥渃ontemporary鈥� venue to honour 性视界传媒 residents for outstanding achievements in sport.

鈥淓xhibitions can include photos of individuals and teams, sports documentation as well as information. Exhibitions can include audio recordings, video recordings as well as other content added over time such as digital documents, images of trophies, uniforms, medals, news articles and other information related to sports.
鈥淚n addition to being available from home, kiosks offer an option for in-facility experience. Large interactive screens could be installed in key recreation centres which host major competitions, for those attending games or practices,鈥� Cavan explains.
The content of a virtual hall of fame 鈥渋s almost limitless,鈥� the report adds. 鈥淯nlike some models in B.C., which are limited to just a name, or a name with a photo of the year鈥檚 honorees, a Virtual Hall of Fame can share interviews with those individuals, videos of them in action, or recordings of those who know them, or who have stories about the achievements of the honorees. This richer content is more inspiring.鈥�
The virtual model 鈥渨ill be complemented by the ongoing acquisition of 性视界传媒 sports memorabilia and artifacts to be held in the Archives and Heritage collections of the City and presentations in changing exhibitions with different themes and stories at the Museum of 性视界传媒 and at the 性视界传媒 Archives,鈥� the report says.
