  • Purpose: This study is a prior study for expanding the science museum's online services. Based on case studies, we propose an online service for science museums in the future. Research design, data, and methodology: This study analyzed online-based science museums services trends. The data was collected based on the cases of five national science museums. To understand the characteristics of science museum's online services, we analyzed the status of digital content provided by each science museum and the operation method of online special exhibitions. Result: The national science museums provided online services through virtual science museums, SNS, and YouTube. However, the services still imposed limitation on facilitating active learning for visitors. In the case of SNS and YouTube, it is only a one-time promotional tool. Conclusion: This study suggests the need for concrete measures to utilize the abundant content accumulated so far in actual education. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of content development incorporating new platforms.

  • We live now in information society. High-tech communication technique of information came up to our daily life thoroughly. Then, what will happen to change the field of architecture in information society\ulcorner This study realized architecture in virtual reality by choosing technique in virtual reality that was able to alternate architecture in reality. The result of this study: 1. We promoted some shopping malls by making use of 'an active world' that is one of the virtual reality programs. As a result, we could know that we were able to find out goods faster than reality economically and purchase them in virtual reality. 2. There are many fields that we can adapt the architecture in virtual reality beside the shopping malls. For example, they can be a museum, an art gallery, and educational facility, a movie theater, a government and public office, and a recreation facility. 3. The architecture in virtual reality will cause to change our lifestyles and environments and to coexist architecture in reality.

  • This investigation proposes a new method to overcome disadvantages of panorama VR that is oriented toward spacial information and Object VR that is oriented toward object itself and consequently to make 3D virtual reality (VR) contents efficiently by using image based approach. 3D VR contents provide satisfactory qualities to users but 3D modeling is complex and elaborative and requires high cost. So, this paper aims at reducing tremendous efforts for making 3D VR by substituting 3D modeling with 'advanced Billboard'(we call it Smart Billboard). Smart Billboard has a mechanism for selecting an adequate mapping image that is observable at each user viewpoint and carry on texture mapping into the Billboard. And it is validated with the practical embodiments of a virtual museum in which the exhibitions are prepared by Smart Billboard.

  • Recently, a hologram-like system and a virtual human to provide a realistic experience has been serviced in various places such as musical performance and museum exhibition. Also, the realistically responded virtual human in the hologram-like system need to be expressed in a way that matches the users' interaction. In this paper, to improve the feeling of being in the same space with a virtual human in the hologram-like system, user's gesture based interactive contents were presented, and the effectiveness of interaction was evaluated. Our approach was found that the gesture based interaction was provided a higher sense of co-presence for immersion with the virtual human.

  • With continued technology innovation in the fields of computer graphics (CG) and virtual reality (VR), digital animated avatars (or virtual humans) are evolving into ones that are more interactive at a suitable location such as museum, airport, and shopping mall. Specially, the form of the avatar (or the virtual human) realistically need to be expressed in a way that matches the users' physical space. In recent many researches, the form of virtual human has been expressed as mixed-reality human (MRH)-the virtual human combines with the physicality as the real part. In this paper, we propose to carry out a study comparing various MRH on co-presence and emotional response in two-typed virtual humans depending on how many actual parts are included: (1) (Level 1) small parts in the virtual human combined virtual components (e.g., the head only) and (2) (Level 2) large parts in the virtual human with the physicality as the real part such as head, arms, and upper body). We report on the implemented results of our virtual humans and experimental results on co-presence and emotional response.

  • In today's rapidly developing technology, the traditional exhibition format of museums can no longer meet social needs. By analyzing the advantages and key technologies of extended reality technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and hybrid reality, the museum XR exhibition interaction scheme is analyzed. Come to Discovery Museum. In this regard, this study first delves into the concept of XR technology, the concept and influencing factors of tourist experience, and the relationship between the application of XR technology and tourist experience through theoretical investigation. On this basis, representative paleontological museums in China and South Korea were selected, and the actual experience of visitors at the exhibition site and the application of XR technology were investigated through examples. Research has shown that the use of augmented reality technology can achieve seamless integration of virtual and real worlds in paleontological museums, extend viewing space, expand cultural heritage connotations, and revitalize cultural heritage. It provides visitors with a deeper interactive experience, enhances immersion and enriches display methods, making this type of museum more attractive. On this basis, XR technology helps museums achieve Digital transformation, and makes them have the advantages of sustainable development.

  • This study intends to find a positive effect on the learning of elementary school students by developing the exhibition contents of on-offline museum. This on-offline museum contents were combined with existing exhibit types and direct experience elements, and the theory of [blended learning]. Through this study, analyzing the limitations of existing online museum and finding with experiment to see if the new contents had a learning effect compared to the existing online museum. As a result of the experimental study, the content with a [direct experience] was counted as a high satisfaction and frequency index, and the [play] and [experience] type of direct experience contents showed higher satisfaction than the indirect experience type contents. Through this study, we want to provide new implications and development possibilities in the development of contents that online museums can provide, and to promote various effects on children's education.
