To Relive a Valuable Experience of the World at the Digital Museum

This paper describes a new concept of bodily experience that may be used in the future museum exhibit. An ordinary museum exhibits objects to make themselves talk with their authenticity to visitors, however it does not provide an interaction and vivid context in which they existed. A virtual experience system which creates multisensory stimuli potentially presents the realistic state of valuable artificial objects in the original environments. We think the experience of objects in a particular space is another theme that a future museum needs to seek. A novel rendering technique of a virtual body of a visitor is introduced where multisensory displays impart the sensation of presence of an environment and objects of interest through a pseudo walking experience. This digital museum device will add a new experience to relive a trip walking around objects based on recorded data from a real tourist.
