“…Previous works have shown that the need for custom interaction mechanisms in virtual museums [3] is not satisfied by the available tools and services [5]. In addition, these services are not able to provide flexible data models that could adapt to the needs of specific projects [4].…”

“…Despite the growing interest on virtual museum exhibitions and the availability of easy-to-use platforms it appears that these solutions are not able to support custom interactions [3,5]. Given the aforementioned, the need for a framework that can support custom virtual museum exhibitions arises and its design and implementation characteristics are briefly presented here.…”

All the cited experimentations of VM are valuable examples of how the concept idea is devoted to augment the educational engagement of the visitor, proposing stimulating forms of storytelling in an immersive and interactive environment (Pietroni et al, 2018;Latos et al, 2018). Furthermore, often these VM prototypes are oriented towards a Serious Game approach with a balanced presence of three components: educational, simulative and playful.…”

Abstract. The use of virtual reality and ICT in the museum context provides a new key to understand and promote Cultural Heritage: thanks to these technologies the user has the opportunity to experience without the need to come into contact with the real objects. For the museum institutions VR and ICT are a valuable tool that allows them to perform different cultural tasks, addressing the public in a much more effective way than has previously been possible. Especially through VR, it is possible to reconstruct the original context of the artworks through the interconnection of contents: the virtual visitor, while viewing the artwork, can consult useful contents for the learning process. Another revolutionary element introduced by the new technologies is linked to the possibility of creating virtual exhibitions through which it is possible to exhibit works that are not accessible or not visible. These reflections and these theoretical principles were the basis for the development of the project proposal presented in these pages, that was born as a collaboration between the R3D Lab of the Museo della Rappresentazione of University of Catania and the CIMS Lab of Carleton University, Ottawa. It consists in the creation of a virtual museum, the Timeless Museum, in order to create an educational experience, able to make the users reflect on topics such as the value of history, the sense of beauty, the relationship with our past and our future, the protection and transmission to future generations of the artistic heritage we have.

“…Virtual museums' lack of usability is commonly attributed to non-comprehensible or too complicated navigation techniques being used [3]. Regarding navigation in virtual environments, users can face disorientation problems, loss of overview and difficulty relocating previously visited locations [4].…”

Evaluating Museum Virtual Tours: The Case Study of Italy

Virtual tours in museums are an ideal solution for those that are not able to visit a museum or those who want to have a small taste of what is presented in the museum before their visit. However, these tours often encounter severe problems while users interact with them. In order to check the status of virtual tours of museums, we present the implementation of an evaluation experiment that uses a combination of two multi-criteria decision making theories, namely the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). AHP has been used for the estimation of the weights of the heuristics and fuzzy TOPSIS has been used for the evaluation of virtual tours of museums. This paper presents the exact steps that have to be followed in order to implement such an experiment and run an example experiment for virtual tours of Italian museums.
