VR / AR for Cultural Heritage is a suite of two applications, called INSIDE VIRTUAL and OUTSIDE REAL, which represent the two sides of the same coin to offer an advanced experience in cultural heritage. The apps have been released for Android & IoS tablets and smartphones
INSIDE VIRTUAL
It offers a virtual and interactive experience that the user can access comfortably at home even without visiting the real museum. Using a Serious Game logic, the user is involved in a learning process where he/she plays the role of a virtual visitor in a virtual museum.
Inside the museum the user can interact with 3D models and with virtual guides (based on a question and answer approach where the user receives information and suggestions on the artifacts that fall under his/her interests). Virtual guides offer an adaptive learning experience being able to capture the user’s interests and to manage the virtual visit smartly.
Under the Serious Game mode, the user “unlocks” new areas of the virtual museum if he proves to have correctly understood cultural contents and information acquired along the visit. Moreover INSIDE VIRTUAL is based on Artificial Intelligence that makes the scenario evolve based on the user behavior and preferences.
OUTSIDE REAL
It is an application (Android and IoS) for smartphones and tablets to be used during the visit in a real museum or archeological site. For each artifact, the application provides Augmented Reality contents and offers the possibility to interact with the Personal Assistant SOPHOS-CH that delivers information through a question-answer approach. The Personal Assistant SOPHOS-CH is also able to plan a guided tour of the museum according to the preferences initially expressed by the user and adjusts the visit and the contents delivered according to the questions the user asks. OUTSIDE REAL also provides users’ profiling as a support to museum curators for the optimal organization of exhibition spacesand cultural contents.
During the visit to the museum, the OUTSIDE REAL App allows getting, in an intelligent way, knowledge about artifacts and additional contents such as texts, pictures and videos.
