Abstract:
In our research, we aim to construct an interactive exhibition system for museums to convey the background information about its exhibit, which today’s museums need. Museums have to preserve their exhibits, and that was a limitation on the exhibition form. They cannot hold a quite new type of exhibition because it might jeopardize their exhibits. So they cannot do more than the exhibition with conventional display cases and panels, in other words a passive exhibition to convey the background information. Digital technologies untie them from this limitation. We can convey the background information effectively using CG in exhibitions, without jeopardizing real exhibits.
