ABSTRACT
The digitization of paintings enables us to do various modifications with them and also to add digital content that complements such artworks. In our research we investigate how such digital extensions can be used in a VR museum setup. This Creative Showcase demo presents a first implementation of such an "enhanced VR museum" based on initial results and related user feedback from earlier experiments. By using techniques such as "inpainting", "stylization" of objects or other visuals in the style of a painting, and by adding of content-related 3D animations we aim at creating VR museum techniques that provide a better experience by, for example, being more immersive, creating a higher emotional connection, or having an educational value.

Complementing Artworks to Create Immersive VR Museum Experiences
ACE '16: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment TechnologyVirtual and augmented reality offer various ways to enhance art exhibitions and create virtual museum experiences. In this work, we investigate the impact of digital additions to paintings in a VR museum setting. In particular, we evaluate if adding ...
VR Grabbers: Ungrounded Haptic Retargeting for Precision Grabbing Tools
UIST '18: Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyHaptic feedback in VR is important for realistic simulation in virtual reality. However, recreating the haptic experience for hand tools in VR traditionally requires hardware with precise actuators, adding complexity to the system. We propose Ungrounded ...
Exhibition approach using an AR and VR pillar
SA '17: SIGGRAPH Asia 2017 Mobile Graphics & Interactive ApplicationsThis demonstration presents a development of an Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (AR) pillar, a novel approach for showing AR and VR content in a public setting. A pillar in a public exhibition venue was converted to a four-sided AR and VR ...
