Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on advances in human–computer interaction research for intercultural communication in the fields of tourism, education, culture, e-commerce, and communication in general. This interdisciplinary approach aims to explore the dynamic relationships between these fields and their impact on users and new media. Researchers are invited to submit papers that delve into topics such as the role of technology in enhancing tourism experiences, the influence of cultural exchange on educational practices, the integration of e-commerce in cultural preservation efforts, and the use of communication strategies to promote user experience/interaction. By examining these interconnected themes, this Special Issue seeks to advance knowledge in these areas. Submissions that offer innovative perspectives and practical insights are encouraged to contribute.

This Special Issue will accept topics regarding advances in human–computer interaction research for intercultural communication detection and understanding related works. These include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Tourism;
  • Education;
  • Culture;
  • E-commerce;
  • Journalism;
  • Social media;
  • New media.

Museum use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common, but its contribution to museum attendance is yet to be confirmed. This paper investigates whether the adoption of AI impacts museum visitation using data from 19 museums. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and Spearman correlation, were conducted to determine if the use of AI has significant effects on visitors. The findings indicate no statistically significant difference between museums that use AI and those that do not (ANOVA: p = 0.263, F = 1.34), but the Spearman correlation (r = 0.448, p = 0.055) indicates a moderate positive correlation that is not statistically significant. The findings suggest that AI enhances visitor experience rather than increasing attendance. Additionally, this study proposes a conceptual framework for AI prototyping in museums. The study contributes to the ongoing debate on AI in cultural institutions by emphasizing that future research should incorporate longitudinal studies and qualitative visitor feedback in order to capture the overall impact of AI on engagement and sustainability in museums.

In the digital era, user-generated online reviews serve as a valuable resource for understanding visitor experiences in cultural institutions. This study analyses sentiments and thematic trends in TripAdvisor reviews of mountain museums, using Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modelling and sentiment analysis. A dataset of 2157 reviews from ten museums was classified into local and non-local perspectives, revealing significant differences in visitor expectations. Findings indicate that local visitors prioritize historical authenticity and educational value, whereas non-local visitors emphasize aesthetic appeal, interactivity, and cultural immersion. Sentiment analysis highlights generally positive perceptions, with business travellers and groups of friends reporting the highest satisfaction levels. Comparative analysis across visitor types reveals distinct engagement patterns, with families valuing child-friendly exhibits, couples seeking cultural enrichment, and solo travellers focusing on intellectual depth. These insights inform strategic recommendations for museum management, including multilingual content, interactive elements, and guided tours dedicated to specific visitor profiles. Despite limitations related to lack of real-time feedback, this research demonstrates the potential of sentiment analysis in enhancing museum experiences. Future studies should integrate multimodal analysis and real-time tracking to further refine visitor experience evaluation. Full article

The vast amount of audiovisual and multimedia content that is currently delivered via multiple ways and platforms makes media literacy imperative to enhance citizens’ ability to assess the credibility and trustworthiness of media sources. By recognizing bias and misinformation and understanding the impact the media can have on individuals and society, media literate citizens are better equipped to analyze the information they receive, thus presenting critical thinking. This paper, through research conducted among university students that attended the course of “Creative studio and audiovisual productions” at the Department of Communication and Digital Media, University of Western Macedonia, Greece, aims to present the effective use of interactive video production to media literacy. Prior to the beginning of the semester, the students were asked to state, among other things, their knowledge of media literacy, their digital literacy levels, and their skills level on various forms of video productions. At the end of the semester, they were asked to assess the knowledge and skills acquired through the process of creating an interactive video production on media literacy. The results revealed that through this project that brought them enjoyment, they gained knowledge, and they highly valued the role of interactive videos as communication tools. Full article
