Description

This work provides an analysis of the development effort required to implement a Web- based VR experience using the A-Frame VR framework. We implemented an interactive 360º virtual tour of the Conimbriga Museum, featuring the objects of national interest that can be found in the museum’s exhibition. The tour allows navigation between the 360º scenes, providing information panels about the objects, and a floor menu for rapid teleporting between rooms. The implementation of this virtual tour allowed us to identify several issues where Web-based VR development is still lacking in flexibility.

This work was done by Solange Santos in the context of a scientific initiation grant.
