| description | The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrates the relevance of virtual museums, which
provide access to art and cultural heritage even in times when museums are
closed. Besides their undisputable relevance, another important factor is the
acceptance of virtual museums, which primarily depends on usability and user
experience. So far, there are only generic guidelines for the design of
user-friendly virtual environments, such as the twelve heuristics presented by
Sutcliffe and Gault 2004. This paper presents an evaluation of those VE
heuristics and their applicability to virtual museums. To do so, we select six
exemplary virtual exhibitions and evaluate them with respect to the existing
heuristics. Based on the results, we present best practices for the design of
virtual museums. Furthermore, we discuss limitations of the existing
heuristics. Two existing heuristics do not seem to be suitable for virtual
museums. In addition, we complement two heuristics which could be derived from
the examples and argue for a further development of domain-specific heuristics
and best practices for virtual museums in order to systematically improve
knowledge transfer in the sense of the public history
approach.. |
