INTERACTIVE DIGITAL EXHIBITION OF TERRITORY OBJECTS IN VIRTUAL REALITY

Abstract

The article analyzes modern trends in the use of virtualization technologies in the museum and exhibition sphere. It describes the development of a concept for a software and information solution for creating a digital exposition of objects of the territory, which involves the creation of three-dimensional interactive models of locations, including cultural and historical monuments and their contextual environment. The software architecture of the digital exposition project, an approach to choosing objects of virtual display and the formation of additional user experience are proposed. The implementation of several related virtual scenes based on the landmarks of the Volgograd region is demonstrated: the 19th-century Lutheran Church in the village of Verkhniy Yeruslan and the Verkhneeruslansky lock bridge across the Yeruslan River in the Staropoltavsky district. The stages of creating 3D models of the central objects of the exposition, other components of the location of their placement, as well as the interactive functionality of the scenes are shown.
