Collaborative Virtual Museum for All Senses (CoViMAS) is the an extended virtual museum which engages all senses of visitors. It is a substantial upgrade and expansion of our award-winning Glamhack 2018 project “Walking around the Globe” which had the DBIS Group from the University of Basel team up with the ETH Library to introduce a prototype of an exhibition in Virtual Reality.

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.

Additionally, CoViMAS enriches the user experience in virtual space by providing physical objects which can be manipulated by the user in virtual space. Thanks to the mix'n'hack organizers and FabLab (https://fablab-sion.ch/), the user will be able to touch postcards, view them closely, and feel their 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 lively look into the past using the pictures in the Virtual Museum.
