Evolución de las tecnologías utilizadas en el desarrollo de Museos Virtuales

Thanks to the development of the new technologies, virtual museums have incorporated new contents that make the transmission of the knowledge easier. These new elements should be included considering not only technical features but also usability and simplicity requirements for end users. In this paper, we describe the evolution of the main technologies utilized in the creation of virtual Museums, specifically those which generate 3D content. We also describe how to include these new contents in order to obtain a successful result. Finally, we compare virtual Museums with another traditional ways of transmitting knowledge such as, real museums, books, and magazines.
