As digital technologies have strongly impacted the whole social aspects, so museum recently emerging as an alternative or supplementary learning environment to school, after active adoption to the technologies, gave birth to museum websites called 'Virtual Museums' which, then, result in enhancing the educational roles and functions of physical museum. In this context, this study aimed to review the process of how virtual museum has been developed in terms of its educational roles and characteristics in accordance with the evolutionary development of web. Especially, the analysis of the status quo of the current virtual museums in both Korea and overseas presented specific aspects of the educational elements and roles embedded in virtual museum which have been emphasized in many related research and studies. The categories of the roles of the virtual museum, as a result, were classified into 'digital archive,' 'learning resources,' and 'communigy,' each of which were, then, further elaborated for its individual educational uses. Eventually this study purposed to expand the public awareness and knowledge of virtual museum as the alternative online learning environments needed in the 21st century.

The overall digital transformation in society is rapidly progressing with the corona virus epidemic. In particular, in the field of cultural heritage and museums, digital transformation is taking place throughout the preservation, management, and utilization of cultural heritage. To respond to this, the importance of cultivating the digital literacy of museum professionals to select and utilize digital cultural heritage information is increasing. However, the current digital capacity education of museum professionals has not reached the cultivation of digital literacy due to one-way theory and one-way practical education. To overcome this, we propose a digital capacity building program using virtual museums. We propose a curriculum based on participatory museums, cooperative learning, and project-based learning theories. Learners experience the entire process of acquiring, selecting, and utilizing digital cultural heritage information through individual, cooperative, constant, exhibitions, and project-based learning programs. We were evaluated by experts in terms of education, museum education, and ICT technology education to prove its usability and derive improvements. This study will contribute to building the digital capacity of museum professionals.

The present investigation is concerned with the embodiment of virtual museum offering effective interaction with user. In real museum, we mainly get text-based information and we can't operate ancient relics as well. Nowadays there are various information service system about untouchable articles in the museum on the WEB, but each medium presents rather individual and unilateral information than useful and integrated one. This paper aims at the embodiment of virtual museum makes up for the weak points of the previous services. This cyberspace provides user with free viewpoint and navigation utilities and additional information for the corresponding 3D relics effectively.

This paper is about multimodal storytelling experience applying Virtual Reality technology in museum. Specifically, this research argues virtual reality in both intuitive understanding of history also multimodal experience in the space. This research investigates cases regarding use of virtual reality in museum sector. As a research method, this paper conducts a literature review regarding multimodal experience and examples applying virtual reality related technologies in museum. Based on the literature review to investigate the concept necessary with its related cases. Based on the investigation, this paper suggests constructing elements for multimodal storytelling based on VR. Ultimately, this paper suggests the elements of building VR storytelling where dynamic audio-visual and interaction mode combines with historical resources for diverse audiences.

유비쿼터스환경에서 뮤지엄을 인류의 지식을 담은 보고로 볼 때, 앞으로 미래박물관의 서비스는 관람자에게 제공되는 관람 인터페이스의 질에 좌우될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 Storytelling Digital Museum의 개념으로 가상박물관과 실제박물관의 결합된 상태에서 관람자와 박물관 학예사 사이에 매개 역할을 하는 대리인-Avatar를 내장한 전시미디어의 개발방안을 연구하고 이것이 활용될 수 있는 환경을 구축하기 위한 방안으로 현존하는 요소기술 제시와 함께 이러한 요소기술을 어떻게 조합해서 만들어낼 것인가 하는 개념을 제시할 것이다. IT서비스환경에서 새로운 방식의 Virtual Museum을 제시할 것이다.

Because the exhibition space in the virtual reality is another kind of reality, which exits in another level, it enables us free from time and physical space, so using the virtual reality will be an effective practice for overcoming cultural divide and managing museums. Especially, virtual reality could transform a fixed physical space into portable contents, so this characteristic would be useful and meaningful when applying the outreach program, which claimed to stand for 'museum out of museum' as following. First, it will give more opportunities of experiencing museums to many people because of freedom of physical space, one of the advantages virtual reality has. Second, people will experience and understand the contents under the context, rather than simply exposing information of artifacts one by one. Third, even people who are far from a museum can experience identical contents at the same time, so this synchronicity will enhance communications among people and the society. Fourth, it will provide rich contents to people by putting a variety of exhibitions into one VR device. Fifth, it will be useful for archiving the exhibition with minimizing the loss of contents. Sixth, VR will convert museum visitors from observers to operators. Finally, VR can expand the target audience of the outreach program and develop a variety of education programs. Because museums is a public organization for overcoming cultural divide and enhancing communication, they should adopt virtual reality, which enables to extend the exhibition space and provide more opportunities of experiencing museums.

박물관은 문화유산을 직접 확인할 수 있는 역사교육의 산실로서 매우 중요한 역할을 함에도 불구하고 관람객이 지속적으로 감소하여 왔다. 이에 대한 주요 요인으로는 전시내용의 고정 및 콘텐츠의 부족, 일방적인 정보 전달에 치중함으로써 관람객의 흥미 유발을 이끌어 내지 못하는 것을 들 수 있다. 일부 박물관은 모바일 장비를 이용한 가상 및 증강현실 관람을 도입하고 있으나, 기술적인 한계와 조작의 불편함, 몰입도의 부족으로 인해 큰 효과를 보지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관람객이 재방문하고 싶은 박물관을 만들기 위해 혼합현실을 기반으로 한 박물관 전시 콘텐츠를 제작한다. 제작된 콘텐츠는 혼합현실을 이용함으로써 가상, 증강현실 콘텐츠보다 몰입감과 현실감을 높일 수 있다. 또한, 관람객과 상호작용할 수 있도록 혼합현실 기반 웨어러블 기기를 사용함으로써 생생한 전시물 체험을 할 수 있다.

This study began with an assumption that virtual museum exhibitions will continue to be created in the future and more knowledge is required about designing effective virtual exhibit designs. This study explored the relationship between virtual exhibitions and visitor's opinions following the viewing of the virtual exhibit in order to determine the components of a well-constructed virtual exhibit design. To address the research problem, this study explored two aspects of virtual exhibit design: 1) what are the components of a well-constructed virtual exhibit, 2) how does viewing the virtual exhibit change visitors' opinions about both physical and virtual museum experiences. The methodology of the study employed surveys, interviews and observations as instruments of data collection. Twenty-five participants were given a survey prior to their viewing of the on-line exhibit, then they were given the opportunity to view the web-site and finally surveyed regarding their opinions. From the 25 participants, six were selected for observation to record behavior exhibited while they viewed the site. In addition, five were interviewed for a better understanding of their responses to various aspects of the virtual exhibit experiences. Data from the surveys was tabulated for descriptive percentages in order to identify numerical patterns of relationship. Observation data was analyzed for simple frequencies in categories of responses and interview data was tape recorded and transcribed into text files. Based on study results, recommendations were made for the future role of interior design in virtual space that stands independent from a physical building and resides only on the Internet.
