| Description | Since its creation museum represents an institution that closely links the development of research, science, human learning and education. Information and communications technology facilitates the development of the modern museum. By means of this technology cybermuseums are formed independent of the existing space they are the component of cyberspace and offer new possibilities of museum communication and education for general public. A necessary condition for the integration of museums and other institutions preserving cultural heritage is the digitalization process of cultural objects. Understanding of this process is very important for formal, nonformal and informal education. The virtual museums are based on scientifically and aesthetically computer generated virtual reality. The visitors communicate with the computer generated virtual reality and thus gain new experience that enhances the learning processes. |
