Abstract
Recent advancements in Mixed Reality (MR) technology have catalyzed a profound reevaluation and transformation in the way information is presented in physical museums and exhibition spaces. MR technology transcends the limitations of traditional, flat presentations, integrating with museum and exhibition environments to enrich the levels of information display, thereby creating more captivating experiences for users. Current research primarily focuses on developing informational prompts and navigational aids within these spaces. However, there remains a notable deficiency in addressing users' deeper needs for spatial macro-cognition and interactive communication.
Our study delves into the advantages of globe-based information displays, merging them with the virtual reality aspects of MR technology. This integration forms a specialized 3D, multi-dimensional information display and spatial interaction system for museums and exhibition spaces. Utilizing the globe's longitudinal and latitudinal descriptions, the system exploits the unique attributes of the sphere. By differentiating personal and public spaces and integrating user behavior patterns with the characteristics of the globe, a range of globe-based interactive methods are designed, including activation, picking up, throwing, navigating, and following. This culminates in a collaborative and shared experience for multiple users in a single setting, enhancing their spatial perception and interactivity.
