Interactive Display of Images in Digital Exhibition Halls under Artificial Intelligence and Mixed Reality Technology

Comparison of traditional exhibition halls and digital exhibition halls.

Disadvantages of traditional exhibition halls	Advantages of digital exhibition halls	The necessity of MR technology in the digital exhibition hall
Single display method	The innovative form of popular science	At present, most of the exhibition halls in China still have many problems, such as the same and single display content and form. These problems seriously restrict the sustainable development and construction of Chinese museums. Many exhibition halls have adopted technologies such as multimedia audio, touch screen, video storytelling, interactive games, and hand-held interactive devices. However, the application of VR technology, which is very popular in recent years, is less in exhibition halls. In particular, the application of MR technology is almost nonexistent, so MR technology is applied to the digital exhibition hall. This move not only enriches the connotation of the exhibits but also innovates the display form of the exhibits [26].
Passive information reception	The audience’s understanding and mastery of knowledge	MR uses features such as virtual-real integration, situational simulation, special sound effects, and real-time interaction to inject new vitality into the exhibition hall. The transmission of sound can enhance the appeal of the displayed content and reproduce the historical situation. The real objects are presented in front of the audience in all directions, and the interaction with the audience can be realized. The audience can zoom in and rotate the images of the exhibits according to their needs to understand the history of the exhibits or their connotations. This form is no longer limited to a single and distant display. The audience is subtly influenced by this form of presentation. The audience deepens the knowledge and understanding of the exhibits [26].
Insufficient communication and interaction	Audience’s high interest	The MR display form uses new science and technology to let the audience enter the virtual situation based on the original cabinet display. The audience interacts with exhibits in many audio effects. The exhibits present not only the exquisite appearance but also the accumulation of cultural knowledge. The new display form of MR is helpful to highlight the details of the exhibits and enrich the content of the exhibits. The realization of MR technology makes up for the shortcomings of traditional display forms in terms of time and space transformation, emotional penetration, and multisensory participation. This can stimulate the audience’s interest in visiting and enhance the educational effect of the museum [26].
