The objective of this paper is not only to propose a prototype of future interface that uses VR technology in visualizing and interacting with 3D mock-ups, but also to provide a tool for decision-making aid, which helps to select proper interface depending on the content we desire to display. Our proposals exploit a variety of State of the Art, and raise a concept named multi-dimension model based interface, which can be applied to multiple VR applications, gives more information than a simple history book, explains to user the real cultural value in a virtual environment.{Cities and townsCultural differencesDatabasesHistorySolid modelingThreedimensional displaysVisualizationCultural HeritageVirtual Realityconservationhistorical mockupsinteractive interfacemuseologyvisualization}10.1109/DigitalHeritage.2013.6743756
