Virtual reality – from expedition to exhibition and back: the MSU Earth Science Museum’s experience

A number of interactive visitor interaction mechanisms are proposed within the format of a natural science university museum. A pilot project, tested at the Earth Science Museum of Moscow State University, provides the opportunity to immerse its visitors into the main exhibition using simple VR technologies, including 3D filming of the search and recovery of future museum objects during expeditions. The content of the new exhibition, in particular, consists of appropriately processed episodes of popular science films shot by the “Floating Universities Flotilla” expedition along the Volga, Don, and Caspian regions. In addition to the regional connection to the hall’s theme, links to specific exhibits and locations are provided; video segments are dedicated to the history of the search and selection of a particular exhibit (or their series) located in the hall, as well as the specifics of the location and research area of the expedition. Thus, visitors have the opportunity to participate in a virtual field trip, whose product, in the form of exhibits, is displayed in a specific museum hall. In addition to the permanent, stationary virtual cluster, a mobile version of the project presentation has been developed, which was tested at the 2024 All-Russian Science Festival at Moscow State University. To this end, the Earth Science Museum’s portable pavilion was equipped with virtual glasses, which allow festival visitors to “go on an expedition” along the routes of the “Floating Universities Flotilla,” “visit” the find sites, participate in the discovery and recovery process, and load them onto a research vessel. The virtual project’s creators—winners of the All-Russian “Youth and Museum” competition—served as guides and companions on the virtual field route. In 2025, as part of the “Floating Universities Flotilla” scientific and educational expedition, 360° video production was conducted along a predetermined route plan through natural sites to select potential museum exhibits.
