CoViMAS
Collaborative Virtual Museum for All Senses (CoViMAS) is the an extended virtual museum to include user senses in the experience. CoViMAS is an extension of the developed Glamhack2018 project “Walking around the Globe” which introduced the automatic curation and design of museum in virtual space
The project aims to provide a collaborative environment for multiple visitors in the virtual museum. This feature allows them to have a shared experience through different virtual reality devices which is a one more step toward real-world experience.
Additionally, CoViMAS enriches the user experience in virtual space by providing sensible traceable objects which can be manipulated by the user in virtual space. Thanks to the mix'n'hack organizers and FabLab, the user will be able to touch postcards, and view them closely and feel the texture.
To add the modern touch to the older pictures in the provided data, we add colorized images alongside the existing ones, to have a more realistic view of the pictures in the Virtual Museum.
