“…Marsili's Spirit is a mobile app that has been designed to revitalize the timeless spirit of Count Luigi Ferdinando Marsili, one of the main scientists, politicians and characters of the Bolognese 18 th century [4]. This app mixes together geo-location services, artistic comic strips, high quality photos, a museum guide, ancient music and, in general, tangible pieces of the Count's heritage to posterity.…”

As mobile devices have pervasively become virtually available to all, cultural institutions have been increasingly investing resources in the creation of apps that can be enjoyed on the phone. Typically such apps are built custom for specific events or exhibitions, resulting in increased IT costs that well exceed the typical costs due to the maintenance of institutional websites and the carry on of traditional marketing strategies. In this paper we describe Museo Multiverso (MuMu), a mobile publishing platform that provides a standard interface with the mobile world to museum curators and experts. Using MuMu a museum curator can populate a mobile client with any multimedia information related to an exhibition or to a network of exhibitions and easily publish such information and make it available to mobile users. MuMu is composed of two main components: a platform that museum curators can use to organize and insert the information they want to share with the public and a mobile client where users can originally enjoy all of such information. In fact, the contribution of this work is twofold: (a) from an architectural point of view, we designed and implemented a platform that can be put to good use to support virtually any number of museums and events, and, (b) from a human-computer interaction point of view we leverage on advanced interaction techniques in order to provide an easy to use interface that excites curiosity and interest.

“…AR technology can expand the imagination of users, and adding gamification can stimulate them to complete more tasks [23]. Ioannis Paliokas et al [24] used AR application to enhance the viewing experience at the Silversmithing Museum by adding gaming and educational elements, and the evaluation found that this approach helped improve museum viewing experience satisfaction and learning outcomes.…”

Augmented reality (AR) technology has received much attention in recent years. Users can view AR content through mobile devices, meaning that AR tee no significant differences between the exhibition-viewing behaviors associated with the game mode and the frchnology can be easily incorporated into applications in various fields. The auxiliary role of AR in exhibitions and its influence and benefits with regard to the behavior of exhibition visitors are worth investigating. To understand whether gamified AR and general AR navigation systems impact visitor behavior, we designed an AR app for an art exhibition. Using GPS and AR technology, the app presents a virtual guide that provides friendly guide services and helps visitors navigate outdoor paths and alleys in the exhibition venue, showing them the best route. The AR navigation system has three primary functions: (1) it allows visitors to scan the exhibit labels to access detailed text and audio introductions, (2) it offers a game mode and a free mode for navigation, and (3) it collects data on the exhibition-viewing behavior associated with each mode and uploads them to the cloud for analysis. The results of the experiment revealed no significant differences between the exhibition-viewing time or distance travelled in the two modes. However, the paths resulting from the game mode were more regular, which means that the participants were more likely to view the exhibition as instructed with the aid of gamified AR. This insight is useful for the control of crowd flow.

Abstract. Augmented Reality (AR) technology is one of the fastest growing areas in the computing field and it has pervaded many applications in the market including museums. However, there is a need for a survey exploring the effectiveness of augmented reality as a communication medium in museums. This paper reviews the development of Augmented Reality as a mass communication [1] tool in museums. We introduce a communication model which would work as a roadmap building AR guidance system with ensuring this system will be a successful method of communication with users. Besides, we propose a novel way to enhance the visitors' experience and learning by combining AR with games in museums.
