Why is digital Dunhuang created?
观众可以用小型LED手电筒模拟火炬照亮壁画,这种交互设计方式让观众身临其境地感受到探索洞穴时的真实体验。作品的另外一个亮点是虚拟放大镜,可以让观看者通过可以放大细节并以超高分辨率观看壁画。
Let’s appreciate some digital images
画中的特定物体,被重建为浮出屏幕的三维模型动画。带着3D眼镜的观众可以看到真实立体的形象。
这件作品一大特点是对壁画中宴会场景的真实复原,观众选中奏乐人物时,会出现乐器的模型动画与所奏音乐,选中舞蹈仕女时则会出现真人复原舞蹈表演,观众可以直观感受到千年前的艺术历史文化。
