Digitization of Museum and Art Gallery: A Framework for Enhancing User Interactivity and Personalization in On-site Environments

Abstract

Digital curation is an emerging topic of interest in the current museum development. If on-site museum experience can be enhanced by digital technology, the development of digital curation in cultural expression can not only promote the role of museum in this digital era but also boost the value of cultural heritage more than ever before. This research focuses on the development of digital curation in cultural expression applications, such as museums and art galleries, with special attention to the user experience perspective. The goal is to provide a novel approach that helps to enhance visitors’ on-site museum experience through digital technology. We illustrate how the use of technology can improve the production process and increase the interaction and personalization between visitors and collections by evaluating a prototype that is developed based on this principle.
