A content service deployment plan for metaverse museum exhibitions—Centering on the combination of beacons and HMDs

作者:

Highlights:

• While focusing on visitors’ museum experience, new display methods to provide exhibition content in ways that allow visitors to better understand artifacts on display.

• The lack of interaction with visitors and the use of lighting that clearly separates real and virtual spaces have made museums inadequate as experiential spaces.

• To resolve those problems, this article suggests a plan to deploy content services for visitors’ museum experiences by combining beacons and HMDs.

• This study establishes the concept of a service, which provides a virtual world experience by connecting a beacon installed in real space, that is, an exhibition room, to an HMD.

• Ultimately, this article presents the exhibition content thus created as experienced Metaverse made through an effective combination of AR and a virtual world.
