Abstract
Continuing from Part A (2016), in which we discuss the semiotic foundation for designing a virtual museum of Byzantine art, Part B presents an applied
methodology for the representation of cultural artifacts through virtual technologies
and semiotic techniques. We discuss how our semiotic model, case study semiosphere,
contributes to design and evaluation research of such unique art-form representation
and why the approach contributes as a whole to the field of Virtual Heritage (VH).
Theorizing further the design implications integrating the overall approach including
the evaluation experiment of three VH applications with the participation of young
users and its semiotic analysis, we formulate design guidelines that can be applied also
to other types of cultural heritage and art.
