Evaluating 'Tangible Pasts': A Mixed Reality Application for Cultural Heritage

چکیده
In this paper we are presenting a tangible prototype interface for Cultural Heritage dissemination in Mixed Reality (MR) environments. Drawing from previous work on MR (Billinghurst et al. 2001), this study aims to explore alternative and interactive modes of engaging the public with archaeological information and suggests that early stage user evaluations can significantly inform interpretive design.

‘Tangible Pasts’: User-centred Design of a Mixed Reality Application for Cultural Heritage
Tangible Pasts is a Mixed Reality (MR) prototype that combines a tangible interface with virtual content. The physical object, a book, enables users to manipulate the virtual models in real time by their actions performed in the physical world. This paper presents an overview of designing the prototype, and the evaluation of this application by participants who tested its usability and interpre...
متن کاملSense-Enabled Mixed Reality Museum Exhibitions
During the past few years museums and other cultural heritage institutions have started making use of handheld technologies to provide tourist guides to their visitors. For open-air sites, a number of experimental and commercial applications have been developed based on location-based guides. However, in museum environments static audiovisual guides are the dominant technologies used. In this p...
متن کامل(Re)Engineering Cultural Heritage Contexts using Creative Human Computer Interaction Techniques and Mixed Reality Methodologies
The contribution of this research is to argue that truly creative patterns for interaction within cultural heritage contexts must create situations and concepts that could not have been realised without the intervention of those interaction patterns. New forms of human-computer interaction and therefore new tools for navigation must be designed that unite the strengths, features, and possibilit...
متن کاملA Mixed Reality System with Visual and Tangible Interaction Capability - Application to Evaluating Automobile Interior Design
This paper presents a mixed reality (MR) system with tangible interface as well as visual fusion in an MR space. The sense of touch is given by physical objects on which computer generated imagery is accurately registered and superimposed. The proposed approach is especially useful in industrial design where digital mockups and physical mockups are thoroughly utilized.
متن کاملDigital Heritage and Virtual Archaeology: An Approach Through the Framework of International Recommendations
Undoubtedly today, 3D technology (either virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality) helps us in the representation and interpretation of reality, present and past, so it has become a powerful ally of the social sciences and humanities, especially cultural heritage and archaeology. The digital 3D representation of reality around us has opened a world of possibilities—possibilities whic...
