“…Urban, Marty, and Twidale's (2007) review identified over 150 museum-like artifacts on Second Life, attesting to the platform's widespread use. These early experimental applications provided innovative ideas and insights into current VR museum practices, such as augmenting 2D artworks into 3D (Huang and Han, 2014), managing a vast amount of content (Sookhanaphibarn and Thawonmas, 2009), and exploiting the unlimited virtual space (Urban, Marty, and Twideale, 2007). However, the primary focus of many of these studies was on translating existing museum exhibits into virtual environments, which differs from the approach taken by RealityMedia.…”

In this paper, we treat VR as a new writing space in the long tradition of inscription. Constructing Virtual Reality (VR) narratives can then be understood as a process of inscribing text in space, and consuming them as a process of “reading” the space. Our research objective is to explore the meaning-making process afforded by spatial narratives—to test whether VR facilitates traditional ways of weaving complex, multiple narrative strands and provides new opportunities for leveraging space. We argue that, as opposed to the linear space of a printed book, a VR narrative space is similar to the physical space of a museum and can be analyzed on three distinct levels: (1) the architecture of the space itself, (2) the collection, and (3) the individual artifacts. To provide a deeper context for designing VR narratives, we designed and implemented a testbed called RealityMedia to explore digital remediations of traditional narrative devices and the spatial, immersive, and interactive affordances of VR. We conducted task-based user study using a VR headset and follow-up qualitative interviews with 20 participants. Our results highlight how the three semantic levels (space, collection, and artifacts) can work together to constitute meaningful narrative experiences in VR.

Over two decades, a great expectation on digital museums has been addressed, but most implementation platform has been web technologies. Emerging Second Life which supports rich communication, virtual collaboration, and 3-D content creation has carried out a new platform of digital museums. This paper investigates the requirement of idealized digital museums to improve the percentage of returning visitors and to impress the first-time visitors. The framework for design and evaluation of digital museums in Second Life as learning institutions is elaborated and discussed in the paper.

“…This tool will be useful as shown in the following fields: (a) Computer Aided Design (CAD) for a physical environment in art galleries as addressed in [3,6]. (b) Content Management System (CMS) for digital museums in a virtual world as addressed in [9,10], such as Second Life emerged as a massively multiuser online world supporting about 60,000 simultaneous login users.…”

Abstract. Achievement of museum guide systems, in physical and virtual worlds, providing the personalization and context awareness features requires the prior analysis and identification of visitors' behaviors. This paper analyzes and synthesizes visitors' behaviors in museums and art galleries by using our defined parameters. A visit time and a observation distance can be calculated by using the proposed functions. The proposed synthesis algorithm is developed and used in classification. Classifying visitor styles is simply implemented by using the average and variance of their stopover time at and distance to all exhibits as shown in this paper.
