ABSTRACTThe Digital Twin (DT) technology has shown promise in transforming complex engineered systems. However, its adoption the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) field, particularly for Built Cultural Heritage (BCH) conservation, is still early stages. This study presents a systematic literature review of 85 academic publications to evaluate current state DT implementation heritage building conservation identifies areas optimising preventive management. In addition, this explores interpretations concept addressing overlaps with Historical/Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM), discusses functionalities existing frameworks. The findings demonstrate potential revolutionise BCH through holistic approach. further focus needed on features tools enhancing performance-based management targeted strategies advanced data analysis. Future research should prioritise developing these aspects fully leverage paradigm conservation.KEYWORDS: cultural heritagedata managementdecision-makingDigital Twinpreventive AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by doctoral Grant PRT/BD/152822/2021 financed Portuguese Foundation Science Technology (FCT), under MIT Portugal Program.Disclosure statementNo conflict interest reported authors.Additional informationFundingThe Fundação para Ciência e Tecnologia [PRT/BD/152822/2021].

Опубликована: Авг. 20, 2024

Heritage preservation fundamentally represents an act of communication, with digitization and virtual access driving cultural heritage research development dissemination. These tools stimulate the creation content inspire public engagement in learning about preserving heritage. Despite substantial academic focus on digital (DCH) research, systematic assessment methods remain lacking. This paper researches application technologies studies using CiteSpace 6.2 R4 to analyze evolution DCH, identifying hotspots predicting future trends. The key findings include following: (1) Current DCH focuses countries significant national power, but should emphasize regions rich promote transnational interdisciplinary research. (2) concentrates three areas: use VR, AR, other interactive enhance experiences; relic databases archives; implementation exhibitions multimedia guides. (3) Identified user immersion experiences, language identity, reality technologies. Digital communication by innovations preservation, information management, digitization. (4) Future practical development, emphasizing innovative technologies, database integration, standardized methods. efforts aim provide valuable insights for sustainable global dissemination is becoming increasingly important, there still a need strike balance between technological ensure sustainability

Comparing the Impact of Non-Gamified and Gamified Virtual Reality in Digital Twin Virtual Museum Environments: A Case Study of Wieng Yong House Museum, Thailand

Heritage, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 7(4), С. 1870 - 1892

Опубликована: Март 24, 2024

Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly employed in various domains, notably enhancing learning and experiences cultural heritage (CH). This study examines the effects of gamified non-gamified VR within virtual museum environments, highlighting concept a digital twin its focus on heritage. It explores how these modalities affect visitor motivation, engagement, outcomes. For this purpose, two versions were developed: version incorporating interactive gaming elements like achievements, profiles, leaderboards, quizzes devoid elements. study, using an experimental design with 76 participants (38 each group for experiences), leverages Wieng Yong House Museum’s fabric collection to assess educational experiential quality visits. The findings indicate that while gamification significantly boosts reward dimension influence most pronounced effort motivation; however, impact outcomes less marked.
