Science Museum Exhibition by a Researcher : Exhibition of Genome Contents and Audience's Reaction of the Exhibition

Abstract

The number of science museums that have virtual reality systems is increasing. This paper proposes an exhibition method using immersive projection technology by a researcher in a science museum. The researcher uses virtual reality contents as the exhibition contents and explains the contents to audiences. That is to say, the method enables communication between researchers and audiences. We exhibited contents that are related to genome science three times in the science museum according to our proposal method. We report this exhibitions and results of questionnaires from audiences. This paper also describes about a visualization method of audiences' operation log in a virtual environment. The museum exhibition can get feedback from this visualization results.
