Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Researching a digital twin model for museum exhibition services can provide a theoretical framework for building next-generation digital museum applications that reflect the advantages and characteristics of digital twin technology. It can also offer practical guidance for museums to achieve high-quality digital transformation. [Method/Process] First, this paper analyzes the main features of museum exhibit services based on digital twin technology and their distinctions from traditional systems. Second, it proposes a foundational conceptual model for multi-granularity digital twins, summarizing the structure and characteristics of the digital twin environment from a multi-granularity information perspective. Then, it presents a digital twin model for museum exhibit services, with information recommendation services and functions for organizing display content as its core components. Finally, using the example of touring the Palace Museum, it introduces the implementation mechanism of the digital twin process for related cultural relic exhibits. [Result/Conclusion] From the perspective of multi-granularity information modeling, this paper proposes a digital twin model for museum exhibit services and discusses the design mechanisms of its core functions, providing a reference for the construction of digital museums in the new era.

Key words： digital twin; exhibition services; multi-granularity; digital museum
