“…As reported by Bacca et al [57], the implementation of XR as a complementary method in the education process expands the amount of information that students are able to learn, increases their motivation to acquire new knowledge, strengthens their ability to cooperate, and, at the same time, is a low-cost teaching aid-almost all students have their own smartphone, where they are able to install the XR application. Educational exhibitions are also becoming a reality thanks to the cooperation of the public sector with researchers [58][59][60].…”

Many researchers in the field of cultural heritage point to the justification of the use of extended reality to present digital heritage. Research studies, but mainly user reactions, have responded to experiences with extended reality with a positive response. Technological research in the field of extended reality is advancing rapidly. In this review, we will cover the current possibilities and trends of extended reality. Specifically, we will focus on the application in creating interactive multimedia exhibitions in museums and galleries and presenting 3D digital heritage. We believe the practical examples shown will be an inspiration for application developers, content creators, and exhibition curators. Awareness of the possibilities and limits of the current state of technological progress is an essential requirement for utilisation of the full potential of extended reality.

“…Initial research has imagined connected portaltype experiences, as shown in Figure 1, with an entrance portal through to a Mesopotamian landscape and ziggurat. Additionally, early stage research contributed to a heritage VR paper on the connectedness of virtual experiences (Woolley et al, 2021) and a prototype 'AR museum' app (Woolley et al 2020). The Valve Index is being used for the research because it supports up to 10m x 10m space for VR, controllers with individual finger tracking, and a headset with a high resolution, wide field of view, and refresh rate (1440 x 1600 per eye, 130 degrees, 144Hz).…”

This paper summarises a programme of research motivated by the challenge of achieving engaging 3D virtual experiences for small heritage artefacts, the sorts of artefacts that mare difficult to display and may be easily overlooked in museum settings. The challenges are i) a lack of easy-to-use, low-cost solutions for acquiring all around, textured 3D models of small form-factor objects and ii) the inherent challenge of achieving engaging and connected virtual experiences for artefacts that are not visibly striking. The paper summarises the research challenges and outlines the research case study -a virtual reality experience for 'cuneiform tablets', ancient written records impressed on handheld clay 'tablets'.

“…The iOS AR app was created for a Virtual Museum 'Takeouts' and DIY Exhibition project (Woolley et al 2020) for which an Android app was also created. The initiative was part of the overarching Virtual Cuneiform Tablet Reconstruction Project virtualcuneiform.org whose original ambitions included support for virtual access to museum artefacts and whose on-line interactions were first developed for the 2017 BCS Human-Computer Interaction Conference Interactions Gallery (Collins et al 2017) to accompany and demonstrate a virtual interaction and reconstruction interface (Woolley et al 2017).…”
