A Study on the Application of Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) for XR Cultural Heritage Tourism

Abstract

AbstractWe would like to propose a plan to apply historic building information modeling (HBIM) for XR heritage tourism. It is significant that the XR heritage tourism content expresses not only a visually detailed image but also the value of heritage and its historical information together to convey the authenticity of the heritage to end-users. Such historical information has been managed in integrated forms using the HBIM methodology, but there is a few researches on the methodology using it as XR content. Therefore, we define the detailed stages of the level of historical information and propose an HBIM system to apply them to XR heritage tourism.Since HBIM has the following characteristics, it can contribute to building an XR heritage content. First, it can be used to visualize the complexity of built heritage in an XR environment. Second, HBIM-based XR tourism content contains contextual information of cultural heritage, which can provide authentic information that tourists want to obtain while visiting the heritage sites. Third, it helps to understand heritage by providing integrated heritage information. Fourth, continuous XR tourism is possible through the management of user-generated content and user information generated in experiencing heritage.This paper will contribute to delivering the value of cultural heritage to end-users through XR heritage tourism content.KeywordsHBIMDigital heritageHeritage tourismXR content
