A Virtual Museum for Design: New forms of interactive fruition

Abstract

The project “Virtual Museum of Design” explored the possible fruition modalities of a product having a high cultural content starting, on the one hand, from the analysis of the Design Museum concept, and the way this is interpreted in the different international experiences, and, on the other hand, of the Virtual Museum concept, leading to implementations very different from each others. This study has made evident interesting possibilities showing the potentiality of this approach on a limited number of museum items, narrated through the assistance of virtual models and their interactions with images, drawings, and multimedia materials.
