“…However, a more proactive managerial approach boosted by strategies can led cultural organizations to digitalize the overall servicescape [48] and consequently to the rising of the so-called interactive museums, virtual archives and digital libraries [49]. In sum, digital technologies can offer a more immersive fruition of the wide cultural heritage combining in a holistic way leisure and entertainment experiences [52]. In other words, the process of information sharing is reinforced in terms of historical, cultural and artistic reality, because it is understood, lived, evaluated and shared by users in an ongoing experience exchange.…”

Starting from an overview of the current trends in ICTs and adopting a SD Logic perspective, the paper is aimed both at analyzing users' engagement in the e-cultural value co-creation process and at proposing a theoretical model conceptualized to shed lights on the interactions occurring between users and culture organizations that led to the (co)creation of value-in-context. The paper starts with a theoretical-conceptual analysis about the digitalization process and focuses on the impact that this process has had on culture heritage domain. The proposed theoretical model specifies which mechanisms the digital capabilities enable for co-creating e-cultural value. Even though the paper lacks an empirical validation, it offers a concrete exemplification of the proposed model. Thus the paper conceptualizes a theoretical model which provides interesting suggestions that help heritage managers in adopting strategies able to shape a cultural service ecosystem. The originality of this conceptual research lies upon its contribution in deepening the understanding about e-cultural value co-creation process and in conceptualizing a model based on the concept of value in context.

“…Researchers have investigated and exploited the immersive, interactive and imaginative nature of VR [5] to disseminate and present arts and humanities [7,8,11,14,25]. This includes the emergence of 'Virtual Museums', of which there are two main types [4]: one is the replication of an existing museum, which allows remote access to its digitalised exhibits; the other is the reconstruction of a lost archaeological site and activities that enables users to navigate and observe virtual objects, such as the Rome Reborn project [10].…”

It is becoming popular to render art exhibitions in Virtual Reality (VR). Many of these are used to deliver at-home experiences on peoples' own mobile devices, however, control options on mobile VR systems are necessarily less flexible than those of situated VR fixtures. In this paper, we present a study that explores aspects of control in such VR exhibitions-specifically comparing 'on rails' movement with 'free' movement. We also expand the concept of museum audio guides to better suit the VR medium, exploring the possibility of embodied characterguides. We compare these controllable guides with a more traditional audio-guide. The study uses interviews to explore users' experience qualitatively, as well as questionnaires addressing both user experience and simulator sickness. The results suggest that users generally prefer to have control over both their movement and the guide, however, if relinquishing movement control, they prefer the uncontrolled guide. The paper presents three key findings: (1) users prefer to be able to directly control their movement; (2) this does not make a notable difference to simulator sickness; (3) embodied guides are potentially a good way to deliver additional information in VR exhibition settings.

“…The students analyzed photos and floor plans of the sites and buildings and cooperated closely with two archaeologists to reconstruct them as precisely as possible given the limited sources and timeframe. For the implementation of the AR and VR applications, we used Unity, which is also increasingly being used in the area of cultural heritage [1,8]. A major advantage of Unity is its platform independence.…”

"Rebuild Palmyra?" is a multimedia exhibition about the ancient city of Palmyra, its destruction by Daesh, and the question of whether it should be rebuilt. As such, it tackles today's pressing question of how humanity should deal with the destruction of cultural heritage. In the design of the exhibition, we pursued the Blended Museum approach, in which we strive to seamlessly integrate interactive media into exhibition design to increase the overall visitor experience. In this work, we present the exhibition, which consists of four rooms. We focus on three interactive installations in which the topic of reconstructing Palmyra is mediated using new technologies such as 3D Printing, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality. The installations helped visitors in developing their own point of view on the question of rebuilding Palmyra. Lastly, we provide insights into the technical implementation of the installations and discuss the results of quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
