Put on a VR helmet and catch sight of the imposing buildings of the Forbidden City. Suddenly, I felt that I had jumped on horseback and followed the emperor Zhu Xi of the Ming Dynasty all the way. Then, I saw Zhu Xi is carefully sketching the architectural blueprint of the Forbidden City. The explanation came from the ear, listening to the built stories from the perspective of the astrology, rituals, and five elements. This is not a historical traversal. It is the recent launch of Zhu Xi’s project to build the VR immersive experience hall project in the Forbidden City. With advanced VR (Virtual Reality) technology, visitors seem to have broken through time and space constraints and have transformed themselves into ancient people, walking, touching and experiencing in lively historical scenes. The relevant experts of the Forbidden City hope that with the help of virtual reality, a high-tech method, the audience will increase their understanding of the overall situation of the culture of the Forbidden City and enable people to experience the historical and cultural charm of the Forbidden City. Although this VR immersive film was only a short time of six or seven minutes, it embodies the great efforts of the National Palace Cultural and Technical personnel. In the early stage, technicians completed the preliminary design through the guidance of experts from the Forbidden City. On this basis, virtual scenes and images are generated through calculations, modeling, and other aspects, and the realistic feeling of the historical scene is ensured through refined rendering. Finally, the National Palace Museum’s expert committee strictly controls the storyline, cultural etiquette, and even the details of cultural relics, and strives to achieve unity in accuracy and interest. According to experts, foreign major museums are at the initial stage of application of VR technology. The VR technology project launched by the Palace Museum Wenchuang is more realistic and more representative, which provides a new experience for the museum's cultural and creative development. In the field of culture and entertainment, VR technology is often combined with the field of games, but the new style of VR+ cultural and cultural communication is rare. According to the technicians, the Palace Museum has unique highlights compared to traditional VR technology. The first is a helmet-mounted 360-degree VR wearing device to prevent interruption of the experience caused by the device's shedding. At the same time, in addition to the basic VR equipment, visitors are also equipped with a 3D dynamic seat and lighting atmosphere control system, with the synergy of vision, and jointly stimulate the audience sense of motion, vision, hearing and other senses. It is worth mentioning that, considering that the Forbidden City welcomes a large number of foreign tourists every year, the project also plans to launch a corresponding English version. In addition to VR technology, the Forbidden City team is also stepping up its production of AR (Augmented Reality) technology and launching new cultural and creative products. AR technology can combine realistic scenes with virtual scenes, and “combination of reality and reality†will give visitors a more profound cultural experience. For example, by using the AR technology, open the mobile phone APP and scan a certain plaque of the Forbidden City to pop up historical images related to the plaque and the palace; for example, as long as the historical pictures are scanned, a three-dimensional projection of the artifacts will “move on the paperâ€. , for visitors to watch from multiple angles; as long as scanning the Forbidden City red packet QR code, you can jump out of the emperor, the elder brother, Gege and other images to visitors New Year...... Today, with rapid changes in science and technology, the Forbidden City has used VR, AR, and other technologies to boldly integrate modern civilizational achievements with ancient splendid cultures, and explored a new VR+ cultural and creative communication path to make history “livingâ€. The Forbidden City is a deep treasure house with vast historical materials to tap. It is believed that with the constant joining of science and technology, more cultural treasures will show even more brilliance.
