Integration of AR/VR Technologies with Artificial Intelligence in Museums

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review and examine the effects of the integration of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in museums. Through a literature review method, the effects of these technologies on the preservation of cultural heritage, museum design, and visitor experiences are discussed using current examples. The research question is: "How does the integration of AR/VR and AI technologies in museums transform the preservation of cultural heritage, museum design, and visitor experiences?" This paper compiles examples from the literature to highlight the opportunities and innovations created by these technologies in museums. AR/VR and AI technologies are making museums more interactive, accessible, and engaging, and it is anticipated that the digitization process in museums will accelerate in the future, creating more personalized experiences. However, challenges such as data security, ethical issues, and copyright concerns are also important issues that need to be addressed. Consequently, based on the information gathered through the literature review, it is predicted that museums will increasingly adopt AR, VR, and AI technologies in the future.
