Abstract

In this study, the present state and characteristics of VR exhibits currently exhibited in Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan were studied to derive the improvements in the domestic VR exhibits. The previous literatures on VR exhibits at Science Museum were reviewed and online and offline data were collected, analyzed and compared. As the result of the study, VR exhibits at Science Museum in Korea turned out to focus on interest and fun rather than containing scientific content, and exhibits aimed at recreational play and physical activity. The Hong Kong Science Museum VR exhibits are more physically targeted exhibits than the cognitive target exhibits. In addition, at the Japanese Science Museum, there are many exhibits aimed at the physical target exhibits. As the result of classifying VR exhibits into the similar types, it was possible to derive them into four characteristics. The implications for future KOREA VR museum exhibitions were discussed.

본 연구에서는 우리나라와 홍콩, 일본에서 전시되고 있는 가상현실(VR) 기반 과학관 전시물의 현황과 특성을 연구하여 국내 VR 과학관 전시물의 개선점을 도출하였다. 이 연구를 위하여, 과학관 VR 전시물에 대한 선행 문헌을 고찰하였으며 3개국 과학관의 온라인과 오프라인 자료를 수집하고 이를 분석 비교하였다. 연구 결과, 한국의 과학관 VR 전시물은 오락적 놀이와 신체활동을 하는 것을 목표로 두는 전시물이 주를 이루고 있으며 일방향적인 관계의 전시물이 많았다. 홍콩 과학관 VR 전시물은 우주, 항공, 환경과 관련된 전시물들이 57%로 많으며 상호작용적인 쌍방향적 관계의 전시물이 많았다. 일본 과학관 VR 전시물은 환경과 에너지, 로봇과 관련된 전시물이 많았으며 상호활동적인 쌍방향적인 관계의 전시물이 많았다. 또한, VR 전시물 분류 결과로 도출된 4가지의 특성을 바탕으로 향후 가상체험 과학관 개발 및 운영을 위한 제안점과 우리나라 VR 과학관 전시물에 주는 시사점을 논의하였다.
