Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have provided new opportunities for cultural heritage organizations to attract, engage, and support end users more effectively by creating unprecedented interactive experiences that can scaffold user creativity, learning, collaboration, and entertainment. However, several user studies have underpinned the necessity to further investigate and improve current approaches and practices related to the design, implementation, and evaluation of VR applications to fulfill the requirements of all involved stakeholders. One possible way to achieve this objective is through the provision of personalized VR user experiences that cater to the diverse characteristics and requirements of stakeholders.
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract leading researchers at the intersection of VR and cultural heritage in an effort to highlight the latest innovative developments in this field and discuss the underlying methods and approaches for designing, implementing, and evaluating VR experiences in the cultural heritage domain. We encourage the submission of papers that examine novel approaches that provide interesting theoretical and empirical contributions to this research theme, as well as future research suggestions. Accepted contributions will include theoretical considerations, experimental validation, and proof-of-concept applications.
