“…If students feel involved in the virtual reconstruction of an historical site, then immersive VR is expected to enhance learning rates. Many different aspects of historical sites may be learnt: historical data (Kiourt, Koutsoudis, & Kalles, 2018), urban layout (Laurent, Hismans, & Natacha, 2018), ways of life (De Paolis, 2013), traditions (Chen, Ma, Jiang, & Liu, 2018), etc. The conclusions of those works suggest that educational goals play a central role in the definition of the VRE.…”

Two teaching methodologies are presented and compared in this study: on the one hand, semi-guided tours in immersive virtual reality and, on the other, viewing video renderings of 3D environments. The two techniques are contrasted through 3D modeling of a 15 th c. Spanish town called Briviesca, in an immersive environment, viewed with Oculus Rift. The suitability of Virtual Reality for teaching is assessed through questions on historical knowledge and urban layout. The understanding of the undergraduate students is evaluated, through questionnaires, after the viewing sessions. The responses of the students underline the effectiveness of the two methodologies: video screenings received higher scores for historical ideas and the virtual tour was the most effective method at conveying knowledge learnt while viewing. Additionally, two user movements for controlling the virtual reality environment were tested: 1) gamepad locomotion; 2) roomscale movements combined with teleporting. The clear advantage of the second option was the total lack of motion sickness effects. However, the natural tendency using teleporting was to move very quickly through the city areas with no singular buildings and to spend more time in front of these types of buildings. They therefore missed visual information related to the first areas while retaining more information related to those buildings. Finally, the spatial location of singular buildings was clearly better acquired with the virtual tour.

“…The digitization of cultural assets and their distribution through public repositories have made cultural capital accessible through widely used online platforms. Repositories enable the personalization of cultural experiences, given that the cultural content can be adjusted to the preferences, interests, and knowledge of the individual visitor, thus enhancing the inclusion perspective [9]. Nevertheless, as the digital solutions in cultural heritage become increasingly varied and diversified, it is crucial for these solutions to address the various ages, interests, skills, and expectations of the audience, as well as their cognitive and physical abilities.…”

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.

“…[2][3][4]. This has resulted in the proposal of several forms of information personalization to fine-tune the services of the museum to the individual visitor's profile [5][6][7][8]. Lately, such possibilities have also been explored in more open museum experiences such as in the open air and ecomuseums where the combination of mobile devices, localization, and recommendation systems may provide novel forms of personalization [9,10].…”

In the digital information world, visualizing information in public spaces has been implemented in various formats and for application contexts such as advertisement, useful information provision, and provision of critical information in the cases of accidents, natural disasters, etc. Among the different types of information displays, in this research work, the focus is given to the ones that extend the experience of people visiting cultural heritage institutions. To this end, the design and implementation of an interactive display case that aims to overcome the “non-touch policy” of museums are presented. This novel display allows visitors to get engaged with artifacts and information through touch-based interaction with the ambition to extend the target audience and impact of museum content. The conducted study demonstrates that the interactive display case is an effective solution for providing relevant information to visitors, enhancing their engagement with exhibits, and improving their overall experience. The proposed solution is user-friendly, engaging, and informative, making it ideal for museums and other public exhibit spaces.
