- Abstract
- This study is aimed at evaluating the combination of storytelling and eXtended Reality to enable the enjoyment of a museum collection for a fragile audience, namely people hospitalized in a hospital ward. The application involves the creation of immersive and interactive virtual scenarios, with the possibility of performing several activities, such as exploring a museum setting, according to Museum therapy principles, and practicing stimulating playful-recreational activities, according to Art therapy principles. The goal is to assess the impact of the fruition of the 3D archeological collection, in terms of promoting the psychological well-being of vulnerable people. The experimentation involved the Sigismondo Castromediano Museum in Lecce and took place at the Prof. Petrucciani Clinic (Lecce). During the experimental campaign, the team used a Virtual Reality headset, and two wearable devices for collecting and recording biosignals. This paper provides a description of the methodology adopted with a focus on the storytelling strategy.
