User-centered design and evaluation of e-heritage: a virtual reality prototype for learning architectural heritage in informal education

The importance of user-centered design and evaluation of virtual reality application (VR) cannot be underestimated, especially for the development of applications that involves massive users. Based on an ongoing effort to develop a usable and meaningful VR to learn cultural heritage through architec...
