Maugry: Augmented Reality Guide for Museums. from Proof of Concept to Museum as a Service
نویسنده
چکیده
Augmented reality solution development for mobile devices is a rather young domain. There are very few guidelines and practically no patterns or mature frameworks for application developers. In this paper we present an evolution of an augmented reality guide for museums, we demonstrate possible solutions for major problems that were encountered. We discuss possible uses of augmented reality for mobile guide development and propose a possible alternative for augmented reality: a technique we call Smooth Transition. We demonstrate that for mobile guide a blend of Smooth Transition and Augmented Reality is the best solution. We analyze several approaches to exhibit recognition including: barcode recognition, special marker recognition and image of exhibit recognition. We analyze several major augmented reality frameworks based on practical experience of mobile guide development. Also we argue that a mobile guide must have user navigation capabilities, which allow users to find their route in an exhibition. We propose two different approaches to user navigation: spatial and semantical: first allows user to see a general layout of exhibition, while second helps user to navigate between thematically close exhibits. We also outline the basic components of a service-oriented architecture we call museum as a service. Museum as a service is a system which will allow any museum to promptly and with minimal expenses deploy a mobile guide application based on augmented reality and smooth transition.

Modèle et expériences pour la visite des musées en réalité augmentée sonore. (Model and experience for audio augmented museums visit)
The goal of this thesis is to explore the use of sound to increase the museum visits. We aim to provide an audioguide to immerse the visitor in a soundstage consisting of ambient sounds and comments associated with the exhibits, and minimize its efforts to discover these objects and interact with the sound environment. The first contribution of this thesis is the implementation of a proof of co...

متن کاملAdapting the museum: a non-intrusive user modeling approach
Technology within museums can improve human cognition by supporting the experiential mode more than the analitic one. In order to exploit this powerful concept our approach is based on empathy and "mimesis". This work explores issues of audio-guide adaptivity based on physical navigation and information browsing. The goal is to design an augmented reality system that is able to transform the mu...
متن کاملValue of Augmented Reality to enhance the Visitor Experience: A Case study of Manchester Jewish Museum
There is an increase in Augmented Reality (AR) adoption in the tourism sector and increasingly visitor attractions, museums and art galleries start to use AR for the enhancement of the visitor experience. However, smaller organisations often fear high investments without the proof of concept due to risks of failures. Therefore, the present study uses a small museum in Manchester to investigate ...
