“…There have been several reports of attempts to measure the user experience of visitors in museums by external observation, but most of them adopt VR (Virtual Reality) technology as an exhibition method and record the experience contents in VR [11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], there is almost no measurement report for the conventional physical exhibition appreciation.…”

CPS (Cyber Physical Systems) is an approach often adopted for improving real-world activities by utilizing data. It also can be used to improve customer experiences in service applications by analyzing customer behavior, captured by sensing devices and by supporting utilization of that data by the service providers, to improve the system. In developing such systems, no method has been established to systematically evaluate the impact of individual component design on the user experience. Knowledge Experience Design is a method for distilling and validating information that affects the quality of the user experience by focusing on user activities and underlying knowledge. This methodology has been applied to a system for a museum, in which visitor activities are observed by sensing devices, to aid the Curator’s awareness for improving museum services. As a result, a cooperative process for designing devices and user experience as a service was derived, in which competing interests of lower power consumption and user experience improvement have been attained. The proposed design method can be used for the co-design of systems that are built on the close coordination of hardware devices and software applications, for providing value-oriented services to users, which aids realization of CPS oriented to evaluating and improving such environments.

“…The confluence of these findings aligns with the broader proposition that social VR inherently possesses transformative potential in educational settings. This transformative power demonstrably captures the attention of learners, surpassing the limitations of traditional educational tools and fostering a symbiotic relationship characterized by active and enthusiastic engagement [47]. Astonishingly, this profound impact extends even to the area of higher education, where interactive VR-based experiences are equally important [29].…”

History is a subject that students often find uninspiring in school education. This paper explores the application of social VR metaverse platforms in combination with interactive, nonlinear web platforms designed for immersive storytelling to support learning about a sensitive historical event, namely the Asia Minor Catastrophe. The goal was to design an alternative method of learning history and investigate if it would engage students and foster their independence. A mixed-methods research design was applied. Thirty-four (n = 34) adult participants engaged in the interactive book and VR space over the course of three weeks. After an online workshop, feedback was collected from participants through a custom questionnaire. The quantitative data from the questionnaire were analyzed statistically utilizing IBM SPSS, while the qualitative responses were coded thematically. This study reveals that these two tools can enhance historical education by increasing student engagement, interaction, and understanding. Participants appreciated the immersive and participatory nature of the material. This study concludes that these technologies have the potential to enhance history education by promoting active participation and engagement.

“…Chrysanthakopoulou et al [7] showed the preliminary findings of a suggested methodology for emphasizing and understanding a historic event using an immersive and interactive VR experience and the user's many senses. The use of a treadmill for navigation and haptic gloves for interactions, in conjunction with the rich 3D models, heightens the sensation of immersion.…”

“…Spatial immersion is achieved by surrounding the user with sights, noises, or other virtual scenarios, giving the user the impression that the virtual environment is "genuine" and "real", according to [6]. Immersive VR relies on the employment of specialized technology, such as smart glasses, head-mounted displays (HMD) and sensor gloves, haptic suits and omnidirectional treadmills as described in [7,8], in order to remove people from their actual surroundings and deliver an immersive experience [9].…”

Because of its benefits in providing an engaging and mobile environment, virtual reality (VR) has recently been rapidly adopted and integrated in education and professional training. Augmented reality (AR) is the integration of VR with the real world, where the real world provides context and the virtual world provides or reconstructs missing information. Mixed reality (MR) is the blending of virtual and physical reality environments allowing users to interact with both digital and physical objects at the same time. In recent years, technology for creating reality-based 3D models has advanced and spread across a diverse range of applications and research fields. The purpose of this paper is to design, develop, and test VR for kinaesthetic distance learning in a museum setting. A VR training program has been developed in which learners can select and perform pre-made scenarios in a virtual environment. The interaction in the program is based on kinaesthetic learning characteristics. Scenarios with VR controls simulate physical interaction with objects in a virtual environment for learners. Learners can grasp and lift objects to complete scenario tasks. There are also simulated devices in the virtual environment that learners can use to perform various actions. The study’s goal was to compare the effectiveness of the developed VR educational program to that of other types of educational material. Our innovation is the development of a system for combining their 3D visuals with rendering capable of providing a mobile VR experience for effective heritage enhancement.
