Low-cost VRML Based Architecture for Adaptive and User Customized Virtual Visits to Art Galleries
This paper presents an innovative procedure, capable to automatically generate virtual environments which are applicable to art galleries, museums or similar facilities, and suitable for web-based promotions of artists and their works. The presented system is part of the outcome of an interdisciplinary research for low-cost and platform independent solutions to combine art with virtual reality with the aim to promote artist works through new interaction metaphors which include dynamic 3D visualization of works of art with associated structured multimedia information. In detail, we present the resulting low-cost and platform-independent VRML-based architecture for the automatic generation of user-customized virtual visits in 3D of art galleries based on XML descriptions. As the VRML standard presents a lack of flexibility when customizing the scenarios according to special user interests, which could be different in every session, we propose a new strategy consisting in decoupling the associated multimedia information from the geometrical description of the presented artworks. This approach provides an external management of those contents, hence overcoming the identified limitation, while additionally increasing design efficiency and content adaptability.
