Abstract

In this paper, visual recognition (VisRec) is evaluated as a method to access background information on artworks in mobile museum guide applications (apps) by means of a field experiment. While museums and previous research have explored technical aspects, it is unclear whether visitors actually want to use VisRec. A prototype featuring VisRec, QR codes and number codes was developed and assessed with a usability study in two museums (N=89). The prototype confirms the efficacy of the recently introduced ORB-algorithm for VisRec. Compared to previous literature, the results highlight the context-dependency of perceived usability and variability in the importance of usability factors. The results reveal a clear preference for VisRec among participants (53%); only 14% preferred QR codes. Ease of use, enjoyability and distance are identified as the main factors. This provides strong evidence to further explore the potential of VisRec to improve visitors' museum experiences.

博物馆导览应用中的视觉识别功能:游客需要吗?
本文通过现场实验,对视觉识别(VisRec)作为一种获取移动博物馆导览应用中艺术品背景信息的方法进行了评估。虽然博物馆和之前的研究已经探索了技术方面,但尚不清楚游客是否真的想使用VisRec。在两个博物馆(N=89)中开发了一个具有VisRec、QR码和数字码的原型,并通过可用性研究进行了评估。该原型验证了最近引入的用于VisRec的orb算法的有效性。与以往的文献相比,研究结果强调了感知可用性和可变性在可用性因素重要性方面的上下文依赖性。结果显示,参与者对VisRec有明显的偏好(53%);只有14%的人喜欢QR码。易用性、可享受性和距离被确定为主要因素。这为进一步探索VisRec改善游客博物馆体验的潜力提供了强有力的证据。
