Abstract

This paper presents an interactive, collaborative virtual heritage system that employs tangible interfaces to make learning experience more interesting and effective. The system is designed for a group of users collaboratively play games to learn a Korean cultural heritage site, the ‘Moyang’ castle. While most virtual heritage applications focus on the reconstruction of objects or places, it aims to encourage the visitors to get more involved with the activities and increase social interaction to develop collaborative learning experiences. This paper describes an overview of cultural meanings behind the ‘Moyang’ castle and some details in the system design and implementation for interactive education.
