Several IS studies have shown that well-designed websites positively influence users, capturing visitor attention and encouraging return behaviors. However, little attention has been paid to non commercial and cultural websites such as museum websites. This study draws on human-computer interaction literature and sociology of culture to determine the influence of website design on museum visito...

The paper presents an integrated environment which enables museum personnel to catalogue and at the same time publish online museum exhibits. The system is based on international standards and is highly customisable to cater the needs of a variety of museum types. Moreover, the underlying database allows storing for the same exhibit documentations for different audiences and in multiple languag...

We describe an innovative system designed for museums to create, manage and present multimedia based representations of museum artefacts in virtual exhibitions both inside and outside museums. Our system creates digital surrogates through a novel stereo photogrammetry system with little user interaction. The resulting 3D objects are refined using state-of-the-art 3D modelling software configure...

Data mining techniques can provide valuable insight to understand mobility in museums. However, the results of such techniques might not be easily understood by the museum staff. In this paper, we propose a graph-based approach to model museum exhibitions, sensor locations, and guiding tasks. We further discuss how route-based trajectory mining can be adapted to work with this graph model and w...

This form of metadata can index a museum’s collection but cannot express the relations between heritage objects and related concepts found in contemporary museum exhibitions. A modern museum exhibition, rather than providing a taxonomic classification of herit...

The term 'interactives' has been used as a shorthand description for interactive multi-media displays based around a computer and operated by an individual. In the Powerhouse Museum, Australia's largest museum, the term's usage has been expanded to include manually controlled exhibits that don't use a computer at all. ...
