Building Virtual and Augmented Reality Museum Exhibitions Web3D '04 M09051 선정욱 2009. 05. 13 Abstract Museums to build and manage Virtual and Augmented Reality exhibitions 3D models of artifacts is presented Dynamic content creation Pre-designed visualization templates Create virtual exhibitions VR exhibitions can be presented Touch-screen displays The Internet The presentation based on AR technologies Museum visitors to interact with the content 2
1. Introduction Augmented Reality Blending real and virtual elements Museum Exhibitions Exhibited artifacts is very restricted V & AR can offer a great help Interact with digital contents Intuitive interface, easily, naturally ARCO System 3 2. Related Work The SCULPTEUR project is developing a solution for museums to create and manipulate digital representations of museum objects The 3D Murale project is aimed at developing a system capable of recording archaeology excavation phases using Virtual Reality techniques The ARCHEOGUIDE project develop a wearable AR tour guide at cultural heritage The LIFEPLUS project additionally encompass real-time 3D simulations of ancient fauna and flora 4
3. ARCO System Overview ARCO Augmented Representation of Cultural Objects help museums to create, manipulate, manage and present digitized cultural objects 5 3. ARCO System Overview (Cont ) Content Production Includes all tools and techniques used to create digital representations of museum artifacts 6
3. ARCO System Overview (Cont ) Content Management Digital i representations are stored in database media objects : images, 3D models, descriptions, movies, sounds associated metadata ARCO Content Management Application (ACMA) 7 3. ARCO System Overview (Cont ) Content Visualization Virtual and Augmented Reality interfaces The interfaces combine Web-based 8
4. Dynamic Virtual Exhibitions The ARCO system uses X-VRML high-level XML-based Such as VRML and X3D Figure 2. Example exhibition hierarchy displayed in the Presentation Manager 9 5.

8. Conclusions and Future Work Conclusions Building virtual exhibitions of cultural objects Web pages and Virtual and Augmented Reality techniques The use of X-VRML templates Designing the visualization and preparation New virtual exhibitions can be easily created Using the ARCO system museums can build interactive learning scenarios From the end-user perspective ecti e A novel approach for exploring cultural objects A well-known Web interface Users can interact with selected objects in V & A Reality environments 27 8. Conclusions and Future Work Future Work The ARCO project include: Advanced visualization templates (more attractive and appealing way) New learning scenarios Using haptic devices and projection hardware Integrated AR System More compact form 28
