Digital Art Gallery on Phones for Users with Reduced Mobility by Using Augmented Virtuality
摘要
The article describes an approach which allows for the creation of immersive and virtual art gallery for users with reduced mobility. Indeed, this user community often lacks accessibility towards comfortably visiting art galleries or museums. For this reason, we propose to public and private art societies the creation of 3D Augmented Virtuality (AV) environments which facilitate the painting visualization through a visitor-customized mobile application. By this way, visitors with reduced mobility can explore galleries without needing to move. Moreover, galleries can easily load and share the entire content of paintings in such a virtual environment, enriching them its sharing ability of art work collections. Experimental results and evaluation show the potential of the proposed approach for creating digital museums and other virtual visiting environments with interconnected phone-based immersive application.
