Abstract
Virtual museums are one of the most interesting applications of Virtual Reality environment, but their success is strongly depending on the development of e ective interaction tech- niques allowing a natural and fast exploration of their con- tents. In this paper a series of interaction techniques in a full immersive Virtual Reality environment are presented. These techniques are speci cally designed to cover basic needs of a virtual museum experience such as navigating in the museum space and accessing meta-information asso- ciated to displayed items. Details of the implemented meth- ods and preliminary results collected in user tests performed to compare di erent navigation choices are presented and discussed.
