Abstract

Exhibition design is the process of developing an exhibit from a concept through to a physical exhibition. The realization of an attractive and friendly exhibition requires its designers to combine various disciplines and multiple techniques. However, the present design process faces such challenges as the need for designers to cooperate with each other as well as the inefficient work for the non-real-time design effects in the process of exhibition design. In this paper, we propose a computer-aided-design system based on virtual reality for museum exhibition that helps designers to design a new exhibition more efficiently. The goal of our system is to improve designers’ awareness of the 3D space structure and the design effects in the process of exhibition design. We integrate and visualize the multiple exhibition information in 3D environment with the purpose of supporting the collaborative process. The experimental results show that the proposed design system can provide real-time design effects and high immersion.
