Stereoscopic Kiosk for Virtual Museum
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a stereoscopic kiosk for virtual museum, which combines techniques of stereoscopic displays, image-based rendering, virtual reality, and augmented reality. In our kiosk system, artifacts are presented as object movies, and can be integrated with both image-based panoramas and geometry-based scenes for constructing virtual museum. Two display devices are used in the kiosk: one is a touch screen, and the other is a stereoscopic display. Through the touch screen, the users can arbitrarily navigate in the virtual museum, select artifacts, and interactively view the detail information of the selected artifact. Once an artifact on the touch screen is selected, the stereoscopic object movie of the selected artifact will be synchronously shown in the stereoscopic display, which can provide the user a better experience in browsing 3D artifact.

Digitization of 3D Objects for Virtual Museum
Current approaches to digitizing 3D objects for virtual museum can be roughly divided into two categories. One is geometry-based, and the other is image-based. The major advantage of the geometry-based digitization is that the reconstructed 3D models can provide better interactivity for the users to manipulate the 3D virtual objects. Unfortunately, given a 3D artifact, it is usually very expens...
متن کاملGeographical Presentation of Virtual Museum Exhibitions
In this paper we present a system, called GeoARCO, which enables presentation of virtual museum exhibitions in a geographical context. The system is partially based on the results of the European project ARCO — Augmented Representation of Cultural Objects, which has developed technology for museums enabling them to create and manage virtual museum exhibitions for use in interactive kiosk displa...
متن کاملIdentifying the Cognitive Needs of Visitors and Content Selection Parameters for Designing the Interactive Kiosk Software for Museums
This research presents the findings of contextual interviews, visitor survey and behavioural study that were carried out in Indian museums. It originates from the hypothesis that the museum exhibits are unable to express their relevance, historical significance and related knowledge to satisfy the curiosity of visitors. Our objective is to identify the cognitive needs of museum visitors and the...
متن کاملPersonalizing Virtual and Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage Indoor and Outdoor Experiences
Most cultural heritage exhibitions, both indoor and outdoor, could benefit from context-aware and personalized museum guides. Although, technological advancements in digitization, digital storage, visualisation and interaction have evolved rapidly, the current generation of museum exhibition and mobile guides offer systems with restricted capabilities and content, for example user selected audi...
متن کاملPresenting Cypriot Cultural Heritage in Virtual Reality: A User Evaluation
This paper presents a user evaluation related to the overall experience of a number of volunteers obtained by visiting two virtual museums populated with digitized Cypriot cultural heritage/art items using different virtual reality display systems. The two virtual museums used are replicas of an engraving museum and a virtual Byzantine icons museum. During the experiment visitors were able to u...
