Abstract

Most of the museum navigation systems lack the function of user interaction. Even the small number of systems with user interaction functions, but required special and expensive devices, or may use non-intuitional operation methods. This paper used popular and economic Microsoft Kinect devices to establish an interactive 3D museum navigation system that supports intuitional commands. The users are allowed to intuitively control the 3D navigation system by physical motions and voice commands without wearing any additional appliances. The experiments show that the proposed system improves the effect of navigation satisfactorily.
