Surveys of exhibition planners and visitors about a distributed haptic museum

Abstract

This paper presents the results of surveys of exhibition planners and visitors about our distributed haptic museum, which is a distributed virtual museum with touchable exhibits. We visited 15 museums and talked with 23 exhibition planners such as curators and researchers in various types of museums and art galleries after explaining our system and its exhibits. In addition, a questionnaire was given to 75 students acting as visitors. The students experienced our system after a similar presentation to the one given to the exhibition planners. We studied the availability and directionality of the distributed haptic museum based on these discussions and questionnaire results in terms of the concept, haptic interface device, usage, contents, and so on.
