“…Traditional heritage sites are enhanced with digital overlays to improve visitor experience (Zhu et al, 2023). Visitors use mobile devices in this model to interact with and learn about heritage sites in a highly engaging and immersive manner (Okanovic et al, 2022). A user-friendly design and the importance of usability are critical in users' acceptance of this technology (Cesário et al, 2023).…”

Introduction: This study aims to comprehensively understand the existing literature on immersive technology in museum exhibitions, focusing on virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and the visitor experience. The research utilizes a bibliometric approach by examining a dataset of 722 articles with two main research objectives. Firstly, it seeks to analyze current trends in immersive technology literature, specifically emphasizing VR and the user experience in museum exhibitions through co-citation analysis. Secondly, it aims to identify emerging research trends using co-word analysis.Methods: The study employs a bibliometric approach, specifically co-citation and co-word analysis, to investigate trends and forecast emerging areas in the field, particularly the role of VR in the museum context.Results: The analysis reveals the presence of five interconnected thematic clusters in the literature. These clusters include (1) VR and AR-enhanced heritage tourism, (2) VR and AR-enabled virtual museums, (3) interactive digital art education in immersive environments, (4) immersive storytelling in virtual heritage spaces, and (5) mobile AR heritage revival.Discussion: The article highlights influential works within these areas, showcasing the historical evolution of the field and the current emphasis on utilizing VR to create immersive, educational, and engaging experiences for museum visitors. The findings indicate that research on VR applications for museum exhibitions has predominantly focused on profound game-driven experiences and interactive 3D heritage, resulting in improved visitor engagement and access to cultural content. The adoption of VR technology holds the potential to revolutionize user experiences within the cultural heritage sector and reshape the overall landscape of museums and exhibitions. By presenting these research trends, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the vital role of VR in enhancing visitor experiences in museum settings. Furthermore, it paves the way for further exploration and innovation in immersive technology.

“…Most prototyped applications were tailored to indoor environments, such as museums (Hammady et al, 2018;Mohd Noor Shah and Ghazali, 2018). Currently, there is a shift towards applications developed for outdoor environments, such as archaeological sites (Bernardini et al, 2012;Galatis et al, 2016;Casella and Coelho, 2013) and heritage sites (Schaper et al, 2018;Okanovic et al, 2022). This shift is proliferating because of XR's extended ability to convey ubiquitous digital information to promote visitor engagement in historical and cultural contexts.…”

Abstract. Extended reality (XR) mobile guide applications offer unprecedented potential for immersive visitor experiences and in-depth knowledge retention to promote cultural learning at large-scale heritage sites, but, despite their significant development, the literature underexplores these applications for World Heritage sites, especially the serial properties that are spatially dispersed in various locations but configured as a single property. This paper describes a framework (blueprint) for the development of an XR mobile guide application focused on serial properties. By incorporating interactive XR and edutainment features, it explores a way to comprehensively reveal the interconnections between the heritage attributes of the subcomponent of the serial properties and their larger, cross-cultural context vis-à-vis the Outstanding Universal Values. To this end, at the Seowon, the UNESCO World Heritage site in Korea, we analyzed user interactions with a prototype of the XR application to identify user preferences and areas for improving the framework.

Museum education is a constantly evolving field that adapts to the changing needs and expectations of learners. By combining the unique assets of museums with innovative educational practices, the field continues to create enriching and engaging learning experiences. eXtended Reality technologies play a key role in this evolution, allowing museums to extend their reach and create more immersive, inclusive, and accessible educational experiences for a broader audience beyond their physical walls. Embracing well-structured and standardised metadata modelling is vital in achieving this vision. It can serve as the foundation that enables widespread interoperability and seamless integration of systems as well as in fostering synergies among the domains of cultural institutions, education, and XR technologies. This work surveys the historical and current state-of-the-art advancements in metadata models for each pillar of the work’s theme, namely the domains of education, cultural institutions, and XR while also detailing the key steps of metadata model amalgamation as a promising direction towards creating robust metadata frameworks from constituent models.
