The virtual reality system for the Museo Nazionale delle Terme
di Diocleziano consists in a virtual room provided with four interactive
platforms. Users
explore and share the virtual space through avatars: with their
actions they create a virtual "show" which can be seen
from the audience on a central screen.
There are two levels of
exploration:
1. A free navigation where users can move into the space following
their own personal curiosity, enterprise or perception;
2. A narrative level where audiovisual media/materials, reconstructions
and narrative sheets are provided.
Whenever a new group of users join the application, the “show”
will be different, since it will be developed in an unpredictable
way.
On the main screen, a sort of general "direction", different visual
and informative contents will occur as the user makes changes
to the camera shot position.
The whole audio system is shared and has 3D stereophonic sounds.
