Abstract

This paper capitalises on the opportunities and challenges to explore similarities and differences between consolidated new realities – augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality – and hybrid technological realities to explore how the serious game reality’s technological and functional elements influence visitors' experiences in museum and post-experience behaviours. Findings validate the influence of serious game reality functional elements on visitors' experiences, showing how embodiment continues to remain closely correlated to traditional experience to drive post-experience behaviours. However, some theoretical questions remain open, considering the influence of 4.0 experience on museum post-experience.
