Virtual Exhibitions in Cultural Institutions: Useful Applications of Informatics in a Knowledge-based Society

摘要

This paper presents specific technical issues related to the development of virtual exhibitions for both web and mobile devices. Several real implementations of virtual exhibitions are described, based on the MOVIO platform (in the case of web applications) and on the Android operating system (in the case of mobile applications). A comparative analysis has been performed in order to reveal the advantages of each type of implementation, based on two virtual exhibitions implemented for the Romanian Academy Library.
