“…More specifically, the intention was to The design process included a significant effort to strengthen the educational value of the delivered VR experience. To do so, a series of decisions were made during the early design phase of the 2gether VR museum based on a set of conceptual factors for the design of SGs [19]. Although the 2gether VR museum is not an SG, and it was decided not to integrate game mechanics, its aim is to reinforce both learning and entertainment, two essential elements of SGs.…”

“…Defining the learning intentions was an important collaborative task and was carried out by technical and museum experts, and it was considered essential to establish a common understanding about how to apply a pedagogical model of CH in the VR application. Firstly, the pedagogy, aligned with the museum's educational policy, focused on cognitive learning, which is based on the experience and can lead to the formation of a new cognitive model for the learner through experimentation and reflection [19][20][21][22]. The context of the use of the VR application was determined to be a visit to the contemporary art museum during a school visit or as part of a free time activity.…”

“…The light sources are distinguished as central lighting, light coming from the windows, and the individual spotlights that illuminate each exhibition separately. Regarding navigation, the intention was to encourage exploratory behavior [19], and the original plan was to allow the user to freely navigate around the 3D space. In the beginning, the team of museum experts was asked to test the navigation system in similar applications.…”

The cultural heritage sector increasingly integrates augmented and virtual reality (VR) solutions to meet dissemination and interpretation needs for its collections. As research in the field grows, the required entertainment and learning impacts of such applications are rising. This study presents a VR museum that aims to facilitate an understanding of cultural heritage. More specifically, an exhibition was designed, curated and developed in a VR environment based on a framework that encourages the public’s interaction with the artworks and experiential learning through activities that utilize VR functionalities in a meaningful way. This framework was applied in a contemporary art museum where the description of artistic concepts is not always obvious to the general public due to the abstract forms of the artworks or the particularities of different artistic movements. This paper focuses on the application development and three user experience evaluations (museum experts, technical experts and general audience). The results were positive regarding the perceived sense of control, usability and the feelings of the user, including their sense of entertainment. Additionally, the participants valued the educational value of the developed activity types and their usefulness. Moreover, the users were interested in exploring the cultural heritage content available in the exhibition, and they would suggest the application to colleagues or friends.

“…The attributes that match cognitivism are incremental learning, linearity, attention span and transfer of learnt skills. In incremental learning, the attribute provides the learning materials and introduces the learning activities by increasing the level of knowledge in achieving subject materials learning outcomes (Tsita & Satratzemi, 2018). For example, when the children know numbers, they are taught how to do addition and subtraction processes.…”

“…For example, the medium and sources used need to be suitable to create the game applications for children. Lastly, the intermittent feedback by Tsita and Satratzemi (2018) is the extent to which every interaction that provides feedback should be defined. These feedback attributes are very important to ensure the goal can be achieved by playing the games.…”

Road accidents among children are one of the factors that cause mortality. An interactive manual has been developed to solve the problem. However, reports show that most road safety programs are displayed conventionally and unsuitable for almost all target users. In order to minimise the negative effect of road accidents on primary school students, early prevention programs need to be set up to overcome the problem. The natural user interface is a current technology that could be implemented in road safety education. Thus, this research aims to develop a conceptual framework by integrating gesture-based interaction and serious games towards road safety education, which will hopefully meet the road safety syllabus to tackle primary school students. All the proposed conceptual framework elements are identified through a systematic literature review and existing theories and model analysis supported by the experts’ review. This research’s main finding will be a conceptual framework of user engagement in road safety education through serious games with a gesture-based interaction technology approach. This conceptual framework would be a reference for road safety designers or developers to build an application for road safety by considering user engagement through gesture-based interaction, learning theory, and serious games at the same time.
