Abstract

We have been researching and developing virtual museums that can enable a user to appreciate artworks with much reality and less stress as if one is experiencing in actual museums. For this time, as a method to further increase the reality of the virtual museum, we developed a virtual museum using Head Mounted Display. We used Oculus Rift and Unity Game Engine to develop this VR museum. We also performed a comparison of the developed VR museum and the screen-based virtual museum in order to maximize the user experience of the virtual museum. Four aspects of "Freedom of operation", "Immersion", "Comfort of play", and "Picture quality" are examined to clarify which type of virtual museum would be suitable for any specific user's needs.
