A review of holographic technology in museums: enhancing visitor perception and engagement
Abstract This paper reviews the use of holographic displays in museums, highlighting their role in enhancing visitor engagement, accessibility, and artefact preservation. Holography offers realistic 3D representations without special equipment, supporting immersive yet passive experiences. Compared to other digital technologies, it fosters natural viewing and emotional connection. The paper identifies current applications, key challenges, and future research directions to advance the integration of holography in museum contexts.
