The Evaluation of a Mid-Air Based Natural Interactive Installation on Cultural Heritage Learning

Abstract

To improve the efficiency of learning ancient art and cultural knowledge for users through cultural heritage, the interactive installation of Chinese traditional painting Ruihe Tu is designed by applying mid-air motion capture technology. Several factors which may affect learning efficiency are considered during the design, such as aesthetics, motivation, participation, usability and so on. In this study, these variables were evaluated by empirical and quantitative research methods. The results show that those users who experience the mid-air based natural interactive installation Ruihe Tu have a stronger interest in learning the original work. And users have a better performance in terms of engagement and exploration desire.
