Precious collections project between Taiwan and Japan with rich culture of national palace museum

摘要

This research proposes a novel method solves an important problem about how to record and present lots digital data of precious collection and how to have an immersive experience of intangible culture treasure. The process describes how to make it possible for users to performances of a Ting (Chinese bronze) from the head collections of NPM (National Palace Museum) and PienChung (Chinese bronze bells) of the center for Music Heritage Council. Those precious collections researches using a haptic device as "SPIDAR" (Space Interface Device for Artificial Reality) with computer system shows an evolutional culture. When using SPIDAR, the amount of force input by the user was strongly related to the interactivity of the vibrations and sounds of the PienChung and other such physical elements inside the artificial real environment. The sensory information is feedback to the user using the same system. All that happens within this man-made realistic space is based on physical calculations, and it is possible for the user to virtually experience playing, feeling and listening to the PienChung. In situations where unavoidable deterioration of important cultural assets takes place, or where intangible culture treasures such as ceremonies, festivals or performances take place, they can all be digitalized using Virtual Reality (VR) technology. Additionally, they can be given an interactive element, which makes it possible to appeal to the diverse senses which human behavior, rather than simply the more traditional visually oriented senses. Eventually our objective is to take the invaluable collections found at the rich culture of NPM and the center for Music Heritage Council and creates a novel culture heritage form that fuses art and research, including expressive elements and interactivity from data that is usually only simply reproduced in a visual form. Finally, the goal for evolutional culture heritage Project generation by Associate Professor Noriho Takahashi (Peisuei Lee) of IAMAS (Institute of Advance Media Arts and Science) and Associate President Po-Ting Lin of NPM, promoting various modern culture with novel research and communication with Mainland China and Taiwan and Japan, hope help to promotes peace in the world.
