“…In this case, doors and windows are geometric recesses, which visitors can walk and see through. In contrast we use metaphoric connectors to link rooms, horizontally or vertically, using 3D models of doors or interactive elevators [1]. Several metaphorical concepts can be used together in hierarchical order.…”

“…Exhibits are positioned absolutely within an exhibition area or relative to (partition-)walls. Interaction patterns referring to geometric modifications can be applied to virtual objects; thus, visitors can inspect and scrutinize exhibits from different vantage points [1]. We facilitate programmatic and (semiautomatic) generation of exhibitions, interior design, exhibit distribution and room layout as well 3D content export for the rendering platforms X3D and X3Dom using ViMCOX metadata as presented in [12] and [18].…”

“…The current approach for designing virtual museum tours using ViMCOX, is limited to ordered lists of camera poses (viewpoints) used for tour stops, marking points of interest or exhibits in a virtual exhibition room [1]. The tour stops can be selected individually by the virtual museum visitor or be viewed as camera fly-by animation.…”

“…We have also been using this approach for modeling outdoor areas (Fig. 2) since ViMCOX version 1.1, in which curators can specify 3D landscape models for their spatial outdoor designs [1]. This new extension allows the use of 3D models as exhibition space as well as the dynamic addition of exhibition content like assets, viewpoints, exhibits, lights, partition walls, transitions and tours.…”

“…In three recent papers [1], [2] and [3], we described the curator software suite ViMEDEAS (Virtual Museum Exhibition Designer using an Enhanced ARCO Standard). ViMEDEAS combines authoring tools, frameworks and a metadata scheme to cover the entire design process of virtual museum planning, creation, archiving, dissemination and presentation.…”

This paper presents further extensions of the virtual museum metadata set ViMCOX (Virtual Museum and Cultural Object Exchange Format). Recent research in the field of virtual museum design illustrates issues concerned with presenting content and contextual information for heterogeneous audiences; it addresses visitors' preferences for guidance as well as their need for content-related and technical mediation during virtual museum visits. This paper describes the incorporation of the TourML metadata scheme, which allows visitors to take guided tours of a 3D virtual museum or to "wander" through the virtual rooms and to select from a range of multilingual supplementary materials. In doing so, it references the exhibition space modeling capabilities of ViMCOX as well as real museum visitors' behaviors. Furthermore, the paper presents new metadata components for extended architectural design, re-use of environmental 3D models as exhibition space and new illumination metadata elements for designing light sources that affect the exhibitions' ambient light. New user-to-object interaction patterns for navigation aids and information visualization are described such that content creators can decide how supplementary material and contextual information are accessed and presented. In addition, we present the re-use and linking of open data collections, documentation and artworks using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
