Abstract
Our project transforms the California Stories exhibit at the de Saisset Museum into an immersive virtual tour, integrating Matterport technology and Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) principles. Matterport’s high resolution 360 degree camera allows us to capture a physical space in high definition into a 3D virtual space while Matterport’s software helps to facilitate the creation and editing for our physical space in a virtual environment. HCI principles focus on how systems should work when direct interaction with users is a key component. We apply the principles of HCI to create a virtual museum tour that offers visitors a culturally enriching, interactive experience, elevating the standard of virtual museum tours beyond simple walkthroughs to engage a wider audience.
