ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the application of virtual reality technology for visualization in museums, using Notre Dame de Paris, France, as an example. It is more rich in scenes, more interactive graphics, and other visualizations, which enables viewers to enjoy the reconstructed Notre Dame online with the best audio-visual effects. We used the Likert scale research method for a survey. The questionnaire was administered to 15 students and 15 experts for basic information collection and experience feedback. Using data statistics and qualitative analysis, the effectiveness of the guided tours was validated. The result showed that VR museum tours were supported with great potential. Its more interactive guided tour experience enhanced the audience's experience and improved their understanding and interest in history and culture. Virtual reality technology was successfully applied to guide NDDP by providing a richer and more interactive guided experience and promote the cultural heritage and development of the cathedral. The research result provides a reference and inspiration for the future development of guided tours of museums.
Keywords: Virtual Reality, Museums, Digitization, Notre Dame de Paris
