“…The book format was purposefully meant to provide intuitive handling as the interactions with the device are accomplished through familiar actions with regular books. Similarly, Nofal et al [9] created an interactive projection mapping steered through a TUI. Users would pick-up physical 3D models of buildings and place them on a platform to control the projection of images related to the various building phases of the Graethem chapel in the small town of Borgloon (Belgium, Province of Limburg).…”

Stereoscopic photography was one of the main forms of visual communication in the second half of the 19th century. The experience of viewing stereoscopic photographs using stereoscopes is described as evoking memories of the past, feelings of presence in the depicted scenes, but also fun and magical experiences. The fact that using these devices generates these impactful experiences is relevant for Cultural Heritage (CH) where we want visitors to have memorable experiences. Since classic stereoscopes are similar to contemporary smartphone-based Virtual Reality (VR) viewers, we questioned how the original viewing experience could be re-imagined to take advantage of current technologies. We have designed a new smartphone-based VR device—Spectare—targeted towards experiencing CH content (2D or 360° photos or videos, soundscapes, or other immersive content), while still maintaining a user experience close to the original. In this paper, we describe the design process and operation of the Spectare device. We also report on an usability evaluation with 20 participants and on the field testing where we applied the device to the visualization of CH content resulting from a digital reconstruction of the monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, Portugal. The evaluations uncovered issues with the smartphone support piece of the device, but generally its usage was classified with a high usability score. Participants also classified the device as innovative, creative, impressive, fun.

On the other hand, movable artifacts are not frequently the targets of media art because they are too small for projection mapping.…”

In museums, exhibition content focuses mostly on cultural heritage’s historical values and functions, but doing so tends to limit visitors’ interest and immersion. To counter this limitation, the study developed an experiential media art exhibition fusing bronze mirrors’ traditional production technology and modern conservation science. First, for the exhibition system, scientific cultural heritage contents were projected on the three-dimensional (3D) printed bronze mirror through interactions between motion recognition digital information display (DID) and the projector. Then, a scenario of 17 missions in four stages (production process, corrosion mechanism, scientific analysis and diagnosis, and conservation treatment and restoration) was prepared according to the temporal spectrum. Additionally, various media art effects and interaction technologies were developed, so visitors could understand and become immersed in bronze mirrors’ scientific content. A user test was evaluated through the living lab, reflecting generally high levels of satisfaction (90.2 points). Qualitative evaluation was generally positive, with comments such as “easy to understand and useful as the esoteric science exhibition was combined with media art” (16.7%), “wonderful and interesting” (11.7%), and “firsthand experience was good” (9.2%). By combining an esoteric science exhibition centered on principles and theories with visual media art and by developing an immersive directing method to provide high-level exhibition technology, the exhibition induced visitors’ active participation. This exhibition’s content can become an important platform for expanding universal museum exhibitions on archaeology, history, and art into conservation science.

“…Participants were asked to express their opinion on both the serious game and the VR experience on a scale that goes from -3 (representing the most negative answer) to +3 (representing the most positive answer) and the results are shown in Figure 16. The values between -0,8 and +0,8 represent more or less neutral evaluation of the corresponding scale, values > 0,8 stand for a positive appreciation and values < -0,8 refer to a negative rating (Nofal et al, 2018). On the other hand, the error bars show the confidence interval, which is the area where the true value of the scale mean should be located with a 95% probability.…”

Abstract. Accessibility plays a main role among the aspects that contribute to the conservation of Cultural Heritage sites. Seismic stability, fragility of the artefacts, conflicts, deterioration, natural disasters, climate change and visitors’ impact are only some of the possible causes that might lead to the inaccessibility of a heritage site for both researchers and visitors.The increasing potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the conservation field has resulted in the development of Augmented and Virtual reality (AR and VR) experiences. These ones can be very effective for what concerns the description of the visual experience, but also improve the understanding of a site and even became analytic research tools.This paper presents an inaccessible Buddhist temple in the Myanmar city of Bagan as a case study for the realization of a VR experience that aims at providing accessibility to knowledge and therefore a better understanding of the cultural value. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the VR for this purpose, a user study has been conducted and its results are reported.
