Abstract:

Multi-user mixed reality, in which groups of people interact with a communal, coherent world of real and virtual elements, holds great potential for museum exhibitions. However, creating impactful mixed reality exhibitions is a complex, nontrivial task. Through a series of prototypes and tests, I identify key challenges in the preparation, execution, and evaluation of a mixed reality exhibition, and then demonstrate how in-situ techniques can address each of these challenges. During exhibition preparation, authoring virtual content iteratively between desktop and mixed reality environments can be time-consuming. Here, I demonstrate immersive in-situ approaches for placing, editing, and animating virtual content directly at the precise locations where it is intended to be experienced. Similarly, during exhibition execution, I explore the use of immersive in-situ information visualizations for monitoring visitor activities and device performance directly within mixed reality. Finally, to aid exhibition evaluation, I develop immersive visualizations for in-situ analysis of complex mixed reality exhibition visit data. Taken together, my research explores in-situ concepts for streamlining the creation of mixed reality exhibitions.
