متن کاملMixed Reality Boundaries in Museum Preservation Areas
The paper presents a work in the field of ‘mixed reality boundaries’ applied to the visualization of museum collections in order to display the collections ‘live’ as a way to extend virtually the preservation areas of museum collections. To achieve this goal, it was set out to integrate several virtual-studio techniques with multicasting IP in the web and the ‘tectonics’ of museums architecture...
