“…The adaptation and integration of haptic technologies into extended reality applications further increase the degree of users' immersion as the virtual world interacts with them in an expected and realistic way. Finally, efforts taking place in laboratories to integrate sense of smell into virtual environments are constantly strengthening and are expected to be a key component of extended reality applications in the coming years [8]. In any case, for the effective use of immersive technologies, they should be used in the context of interdisciplinary and apply appropriate frameworks for developing inclusive and accessible cultural experiences.…”

“…Virtual reality applications offer remote access to collections and digital cultural spaces, while in several cases, the high level of immersion turns the user into the protagonist of unique experiences of history. However, the major challenge is the scalability that game engines offer to continuously incorporate innovative and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, the Internet of Things (IoTs), haptics, and sense of smell [8]. On the other hand, the accessibility afforded by virtual worlds needs to be explored more extensively.…”

In recent years, the digitization of cultural heritage has been favored by significant advancements in specific technologies, such as photogrammetry and three-dimensional scanning. The digital representations of artifacts, paintings, books, and collections, as well as buildings or archaeological sites, has led to the transfer of cultural organizations to the digital space. On the other hand, the rapid development of immersive technologies and the Internet of Things is expected to decisively shape virtual cultural heritage in the coming years. However, this digital transition should expand its impact on most of the population. This article aims to cover the lack of structured methodology in the design and development of inclusive virtual spaces in cultural heritage. This research introduces a holistic framework that is mainly based on the disciplines of virtual museology. The proposed methodology takes into account the advancements in extended reality and the creative industry of computer games. The multisensory approach would lead to advanced immersive experiences, while the multilayered approach of cultural heritage content would enhance accessibility in inclusive virtual spaces. Moreover, this holistic framework could provide evidence from the virtual worlds that could be applied to real cultural heritage organizations.

Data input within mixed reality environments poses significant interaction challenges, notably in immersive visual analytics applications. This study assesses five numerical input techniques: three benchmark methods (Touch-Slider, Keyboard, Pinch-Slider) and two innovative multimodal techniques (Bimanual Scaling, Gesture and Voice). An experimental design was employed to compare these techniques’ input efficiency, accuracy, and user experience across varying precision and distance conditions. The findings reveal that multimodal techniques surpass slider methods in input efficiency yet are comparable to keyboards; the voice method excels in reducing cognitive load but falls short in accuracy; and the scaling method marginally leads in user satisfaction but imposes a higher physical load. Furthermore, this study outlines these techniques’ pros and cons and offers design guidelines and future research directions.
