Magic Land: a 3D Human Capture Mixed Reality System for Museum Experiences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mixed Reality Lab, Singapore [email protected] Abstract Magic Land is an application of mixed reality in art and entertainment. This system includes a special recording room where visitors can have themselves captured and a mixed reality environment where the 3D avatars of those visitors and 3D computer generated virtual characters can form an interactive story and play with each other. Magic Land has been exhibited at Singapore Science Center since December 2004 and it has proved its ability in enhancing museum visitors' experience by integrating both virtual and real environments in the same environment and by including more social and tangible interactions.

Far away is close at hand: shared mixed reality museum experiences for local and remote museum companions
This paper discusses the use of a shared mixed reality system that supports co-visiting of museum exhibitions for both on-site and on-line visitors. We briefly present the prototype system that uses wireless communication technologies to combine handheld devices, virtual environments and hypermedia to support a museum visit. We then discuss its use, focusing on the ways that the system shaped t...
متن کاملAugmenting Museum Experiences with Mixed Reality
Current Mixed Reality experiences focus primarily on training, design and entertainment. This paper presents a very different application, scientific virtualization and its use in informal education. Specifically, we describe a case study that extends an existing museum dinosaur exhibit to include an encounter with ancient sea life. The real world assets and environment are augmented and, in so...
متن کاملMixed Reality Boundaries in Museum Preservation Areas
The paper presents a work in the field of ‘mixed reality boundaries’ applied to the visualization of museum collections in order to display the collections ‘live’ as a way to extend virtually the preservation areas of museum collections. To achieve this goal, it was set out to integrate several virtual-studio techniques with multicasting IP in the web and the ‘tectonics’ of museums architecture...

Brick-and-mortar interactive science centers offer fun and educational experiences for visitors of every age. But in a virtual world, many of the constraints of the real world can be overcome, offering experiences that transcend reality. Exploratorium staff members have created just such a space in the massively multi-user, three-dimensional world of Second Life. In the virtual museum called th...
متن کاملAugmented Reality for Museum Artefact Visualization
This paper describes an experimental augmented reality based system for overlaying computer generated information on the real world. Museum artefacts are digitised; 3D models are then created and rendered in an augmented reality environment providing the opportunity for museum visitors to visualise virtual artefacts in the context of real artefacts and other contextual information. Viewing 3D m...
