“…This suggests that gamification elements in VR, like achievements and interactive challenges, effectively enhance participants' willingness to engage and invest effort in the virtual museum experience. These experiences, designed based on the digital twin concept of the Wieng Yong House Museum in Lamphun, Thailand, align with previous research that has applied gamification in museum contexts to boost visitor motivation [61,68]. Furthermore, studies [69] incorporating game elements such as challenges, feedback, rewards, and leaderboards have also been shown to improve visitor satisfaction.…”

“…In the gamified version, 'Achievements' [60], recognitions or badges awarded for completing tasks or reaching milestones, are employed to motivate users to thoroughly explore the museum and actively engage with its exhibits. 'Profiles' [61], which are personalized user interfaces displaying achievements, preferences, and history, are designed to provide a customized experience and track user progression. 'Leaderboards' [62,63], presenting user scores or achievements in comparison to others, are used to instill a competitive spirit and encourage deeper interaction with the VR content.…”

“…'Leaderboards' [62,63], presenting user scores or achievements in comparison to others, are used to instill a competitive spirit and encourage deeper interaction with the VR content. 'Progression' [61], a feature that unlocks new levels or content as users advance, aims to sustain user interest by continuously introducing new elements. Lastly, 'Quizzes' [64,65], comprising interactive questionnaires or puzzles related to a museum's content, are integrated to enhance the learning and retention of information about a museum's exhibits.…”

Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly employed in various domains, notably enhancing learning and experiences in cultural heritage (CH). This study examines the effects of gamified and non-gamified VR experiences within virtual museum environments, highlighting the concept of a digital twin and its focus on cultural heritage. It explores how these VR modalities affect visitor motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. For this purpose, two versions were developed: a gamified virtual reality version incorporating interactive gaming elements like achievements, profiles, leaderboards, and quizzes and a non-gamified virtual reality version devoid of these elements. This study, using an experimental design with 76 participants (38 in each group for the gamified and non-gamified experiences), leverages the Wieng Yong House Museum’s digital twin and its fabric collection to assess the educational and experiential quality of virtual museum visits. The findings indicate that while gamification significantly boosts the reward dimension of visitor engagement, its influence is most pronounced in the effort dimension of motivation; however, its impact on learning outcomes is less marked. These insights are instrumental for integrating VR and gamification into museum environments.

Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) devices are increasingly affordable and accessible to consumers. The widespread adoption of this technology for professional training is now finding its way into various other fields. One field that is gaining significant popularity is Cultural Heritage (CH), where iVR enables the reconstruction and exploration of lost heritage. However, an up-to-date systematic review of iVR within this field will be of great benefit. Hence, the present review of 94 papers published between 2013 and 2022 that follows PRISMA methodology on virtual reconstruction of CH for iVR. The aim is to identify the key factors behind the development of these applications and their standards. To do so, a statistical analysis on the following topics was performed: (1) nationality, publication date, and article type; (2) heritage type and its current state of preservation; (3) the area of final application and the features of the reconstructions; (4) the characteristics of the iVR experience; and (5) the assessment of the iVR applications. Finally, a roadmap of best practices is outlined for the virtual reconstruction of CH using iVR and some of the most promising future research lines are outlined.
