Within the framework of the IÖB Challenge, Schloss Trautenfels is looking for a way to implement a digital archive: It should depict exhibitions after they end with all content elements, the spatial implementation, its narrative strands and stories. The exhibition should be able to be experienced interactively and thus remain largely sensory. Marina Lima Medeiros, Andreas Reichinger and Katharina Krösl from VRVis have taken up this challenge and developed the ARCHflow project for this year´s IÖB Challenge. ARCHflow is a specialized data workflow with for a digital, interactive exhibition archive that allows an innovative and permanent implementation.

Immersive, interactive and accessible exhibitions

ARCHflow combines the interfaces of existing archive solutions, online services and best practice applications. The workflow relies on the components reconstruction, optimization, interactivity and accessibility. The VRVis researchers plan to reconstruct the exhibition rooms and archive elements three-dimensionally, in exchange with the team of Schloss Trautenfels. They envision optimizing geometry, textures and lighting for immersive experiences on all devices. A pipeline to generate 3D models for future exhibitions is also included in ARCHFlow. The workflow proposes highly interactive content through selection, touch, and motion while incorporating the needs of all audiences. VRVis has been successfully developing applications for inclusive digitization and design for 20 years; an expertise on which Schloss Trautenfels’ exhibition archive relies.
