“…None of the studies in 360°immersive video applications has experimented with navigation design approaches beyond teleportation, such as moderate motion design with locomotion (discussed in detail in Section 3). The design and effect of human actors/avatars in motivating user's actions and increasing engagement have been studied in the context of immersive VR by Sylaiou et al [27] and Carrozzino et al [9] providing significant insights. It is, therefore, considered important to examine the role of human actors in user motivation for the case of 360°immersive video applications.…”

Three hundred sixty-degree (360°) immersive video applications for Head Mounted Display (HMD) devices offer great potential in providing engaging forms of experiential media solutions especially in Cultural Heritage education. Design challenges emerge though by this new kind of immersive media due to the 2D form of resources used for their construction, the lack of depth, the limited interaction and the need to address the sense of presence. In addition, the use of Virtual Reality (VR) headsets often causes nausea, or motion sickness effects imposing further implications in moderate motion design tasks. This paper introduces a methodological categorisation of tasks and techniques for the design of 360°immersive video applications. Following the design approach presented, a testbed application has been created as an immersive interactive virtual tour at the historical centre of the city of Rethymno in Crete, Greece, which has undergone user trials. Based on the analysis of the results of this study, a set of design guidelines for the implementation of 360°immersive video virtual tours is proposed.

Virtual Reality (VR) generates realistic visualization and sensation applied to various practises. Virtual Museum (VM) is a use case where VR may be applied to convince museum visitors to participate with a story told through digital content. Recently, immersive VR technologies are intensively developed providing a lot of devices which support interactive VM application. In a development of interactive VM, interaction is always depending on the selected device. Then content is tuned to fit specific device capacity; major development must be addressed again whenever the virtual environment is adapted to a new device. This paper proposed a storytelling platform to assist interactive content design which is device independent. Our framework provides high-level abstraction of story and interaction which is then translated to any low-level device. Storytelling model and interaction model are introduced to create a common language for story making. It works with a viewer, an asset manager, an event editor and a timeline to achieve virtual environments organization and interaction assignment. An example of interactive content design on our platform is presented to demonstrate the development process which can be applied to collaborative interactive content designing in the future work.

“…There is no doubt that cultural heritage organisations may benefit from the use of digital technology to widespread knowledge and understanding of past cultures [13] [14] [15]. Applications for enhancing visitors' experience range from virtual guides in digital museums [16] to Augmented Reality (AR) [17] [18] and Virtual Reality (VR) [19] [20].…”

“…Although there are a lot of experiences published in the bibliography, most of them are customized for specific exhibitions. Researches such as [16] have been helpful to have a standard framework and guidelines to design virtual experiences in museums, though there is still a lot of improvement in this line.…”

Lessons learned from supplementing archaeological museum exhibitions with virtual reality

Archaeological excavations provide us with important clues about the past. Excavated artefacts represent an important connection to civilisations that no longer exist and help us understand some of their customs, traditions and common practices. With the help of academics and practitioners from various disciplines the results of archaeological excavations can be analysed and a body of knowledge about the corresponding society can be created and shared with members of the general public. Museums have traditionally served the purpose of communicating this knowledge and backing it up with the help of the excavated artefacts. Many museum visitors, however, find it difficult to develop a coherent understanding of the corresponding society only based on the artefacts and annotations showed in museums. Effective modern techniques that have high potential in helping museum visitors with better understanding of the past are 3D reconstruction and Virtual Reality. 3D reconstruction offers a cost effective way of recreating historical settlements in a computer-generated virtual environment, while Virtual Reality helps with immersing people into such environments and reaching a high degree of real
