“…More specifically, cultural learning relies on the contextual connection (relationship) between users and cultural context, and on some form of collaboration between users (Maye et al, 2017;Rahaman, 2018;McGookin et al, 2019;Šašinka et al, 2019). Enhancing cultural learning in VH applications, therefore, requires the underlaying immersive reality and interaction method to enable a contextual relationship, collaboration, and engagement between users and the virtual environment (Champion, 2010;Jankowski and Hachet, 2013;Caputo et al, 2016;Rahim et al, 2017). This section will compare immersive reality technologies and the commonly used interaction methods against their potential to enable contextual relationship, collaboration, and engagement.…”

“…Recent advances in immersive reality technologies, such as the Microsoft HoloLens, are equipped with the necessary technology to enable the implementation of collaborative and multimodal interfaces in VH applications. However, collaborative and multimodal interfaces are still in experimental phases (Funk et al, 2017;Rahim et al, 2017). Furthermore, virtual environments that integrate customized interaction methods into the experience have been attempted (Damala et al, 2016;Signer and Curtin, 2017;Katifori et al, 2019) recently.…”

A Comparison of Immersive Realities and Interaction Methods: Cultural Learning in Virtual Heritage

In recent years, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Virtuality (AV), and Mixed Reality (MxR) have become popular immersive reality technologies for cultural knowledge dissemination in Virtual Heritage (VH). These technologies have been utilized for enriching museums with a personalized visiting experience and digital content tailored to the historical and cultural context of the museums and heritage sites. Various interaction methods, such as sensor-based, device-based, tangible, collaborative, multimodal, and hybrid interaction methods, have also been employed by these immersive reality technologies to enable interaction with the virtual environments. However, the utilization of these technologies and interaction methods isn't often supported by a guideline that can assist Cultural Heritage Professionals (CHP) to predetermine their relevance to attain the intended objectives of the VH applications. In this regard, our paper attempts to compare the existing immersive reality technologies and interaction methods against their potential to enhance cultural learning in VH applications. To objectify the comparison, three factors have been borrowed from existing scholarly arguments in the Cultural Heritage (CH) domain. These factors are the technology's or the interaction method's potential and/or demonstrated capability to: (1) establish a contextual relationship between users, virtual content, and cultural context, (2) allow collaboration between users, and (3) enable engagement with the cultural context in the virtual environments and the virtual environment itself. Following the comparison, we have also proposed a specific integration of collaborative and multimodal interaction methods into a Mixed Reality (MxR) scenario that can be applied to VH applications that aim at enhancing cultural learning in situ .

“…Interaction methods, contextual relationship, and cultural context in virtual heritage also play an important role in enhancing cultural learning [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Enhancing cultural learning in VH applications, therefore, relies on immersive reality and interaction method to enable a contextual relationship, collaboration, and engagement between users and the virtual environment [24,[32][33][34]. Existing virtual heritage applications that utilise immersive reality technologies for cultural knowledge dissemination focus on users' interaction with the applications [35][36][37][38].…”

Studies in the virtual heritage (VH) domain identify collaboration (social interaction), engagement, and a contextual relationship as key elements of interaction design that influence users’ experience and cultural learning in VH applications. The purpose of this study is to validate whether collaboration (social interaction), engaging experience, and a contextual relationship enhance cultural learning in a collaborative and multi-modal mixed reality (MR) heritage environment. To this end, we have designed and implemented a cloud-based collaborative and multi-modal MR application aiming at enhancing user experience and cultural learning in museums. A conceptual model was proposed based on collaboration, engagement, and relationship in the context of MR experience. The MR application was then evaluated at the Western Australian Shipwrecks Museum by experts, archaeologists, and curators from the gallery and the Western Australian Museum. Questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and observation were used to collect data. The results suggest that integrating collaborative and multi-modal interaction methods with MR technology facilitates enhanced cultural learning in VH.

“…However, most researchers had focused on the aspect of usability of the product without considering the element of user experience (UX) [29] and UX perspective has not consider seriously in technology application [42]. Although, according to [41], value in UX is very important and should be considered from the holistic point of view to develop a good application and UX also become the main focus in order to create emotion quality into interaction.…”

This paper presented a review of user experience (UX) elements in digital application and proposed a conceptual framework of UX for virtual museum application. The aims of this paper are to identify the elements of UX and propose a conceptual framework according to the UX elements that were identified. The research was conducted by using systematic literature review (SLR) approach based on Scopus and Web of Science databases, with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The UXelements that were identified were used to formulate UX model for virtual museum application. This study had identified effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction and attractiveness as the most reliable UXelements for conceptual framework based on the findings in the SLR analysis. In addition, the conceptual framework contained three groups of constructs to improve the performance quality of virtual museum application, namely virtual museum features, UX factors and UX response. The proposed conceptual model can be a guideline for virtual museum application development.
