Abstract
ABSTRACT This study focuses on the complex design process of developing museum exhibitions that feature contemporary craft artifacts, while leveraging immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and extended reality (XR) to augment the visitor experience of these objects. Through a scoping review of current practices, it investigates how these technologies augment the display and interpretation of diverse craft materials within museum contexts. Through an analysis of 35 peer-reviewed publications related to the application of immersive technologies in museums, it delineates the roles these technologies play in the design and presentation of hybrid (physical/virtual) museum exhibitions, contrasting their effectiveness and challenges with traditional physical displays. By emphasizing the design process, this study sheds light on innovative strategies for enhancing visitor engagement and digitally preserving contemporary craft knowledge, offering a detailed roadmap for future researchers, practitioners, and cultural institutions interested in the intersection of technology, crafts, and cultural representation.
