Exploring the drivers of users' adoption of museum digital humans
This study investigates the factors influencing user adoption of digital humans in museums, leveraging the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Focusing on 'Ai Wenwen' at the National Museum of China, the research identifies how information richness, information quality, aesthetic experience, and flow experience contribute to users' behavioral intention. It proposes a cognitive-affective dual-path model, demonstrating that aesthetic and immersive experiences, particularly flow, are key drivers, extending TAM's applicability beyond purely utilitarian contexts.

Key Finding: Affective Pathway Dominance
55.4% Increase in Explanatory Power (R² for BI) with Emotional-Immersive Pathway (Model 3 vs. Model 1)The introduction of aesthetic and flow experiences in the dual-path extended model produced a substantial increase in explanatory power (R² = 0.554), with an effect size f² = 0.29, indicating its dominance over traditional cognitive routes.

| Model | Included Constructs | R² for Behavioral Intention | Effect Size (f²) | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1: Simplified TAM | PU, PEOU | 0.424 | — | Baseline |
| Model 2: Enhanced TAM | PU, PEOU, IR, IQ | 0.425 | 0.02 (compared with Model 1) | Traditional path ineffective; system features add minimal explanatory power |

Case Study: Ai Wenwen at National Museum of China
Context: The National Museum of China's digital human, Ai Wenwen, featured in the 'Ai Kan Wenwu' video series, served as the experimental stimulus.
Findings:
- Multimodal storytelling and intelligent interaction enhance knowledge transmission and emotional resonance.
- Digital humans act as empathetic media, evoking renewed understanding and emotional resonance.
- The findings highlight the potential of digital humans to evoke cognitive, emotional, and immersive engagement in heritage interpretation.
Application: Optimizing narrative strategies and dissemination pathways through embodied, personified interfaces that integrate visual, linguistic, and behavioral cues to foster continuous perceptual and emotional appraisal during interaction.
