Cloud tour of the Great Wall. The digital collection site of the cultural relic 'Dragon Head'. Tourists can use VR devices to immerse themselves in the virtual scene of Cave 285 of Mogao Grottoes. Recently, a new blue and white icon has appeared on the screens of an increasing number of mobile phone users, activating the imagination of digital cultural heritage and linking the glory of a thousand years of history. In the "Shanhai" app, users can play with the screen 360 degrees, shuttle inside and outside cultural relics, and observe the details of cultural relics from a "microscope" perspective. They can also use AI technology to create unique cultural relics derivatives. In an instant, a wonderful journey of "culture+technology" began in the cloud. Panoramic scanning, digital twins, virtual reality (VR), naked eye 3D... In recent years, the "digital intelligence productivity" in the field of cultural heritage has been constantly evolving. The two-way rush of culture and technology has not only ignited and trended ancient cultural relics, but also allowed countless young people to feel the warmth of history and listen to the echoes of civilization. With the development of technology, the pain points such as cost, efficiency, and technology that used to plague digital cultural heritage are now facing new solutions. Based on self-developed technologies such as digital collection and neural kernel surface reconstruction algorithms for cultural relics, the digital cultural and museum platform "Shanhai" launched by Mango Digital Intelligence can significantly reduce the collection time of cultural relics. Relevant technologies have been applied first in Hunan Museum. At the launch event of "Shanhai", a professional and rigorous process of collecting cultural relics was presented in real-time through live signals. The technical team digitized the collection of the cultural relic "Dragon Head" in Shanghai, transmitted the relevant data to the Changsha laboratory, and sent the collection results to the launch event in real time. The entire process took only 13 minutes and 14 seconds. Even after enlarging the cultural relic modeling by 6-8 times, every detail can still be clearly seen. In addition to empowering the collection of cultural relic information, digital technology plays an increasingly diverse role in the cultural relic protection system, from high-precision archiving of massive data resources, to dynamic display of cultural relics, and providing interactive experiences in various application scenarios, helping to build a digital narrative system in the cultural and museum field. The digital art exhibition of Xishan Yongding River Culture, titled 'Flowing Wanxiang' at the Laicang Art Museum, uses light and shadow as a medium to bring unprecedented immersive experiences to the audience; Wenbo Parkour allows users to learn and play while playing through virtual scenes, virtual artifacts, and virtual interactions; The Palace Museum's "Along the River During Qingming Festival 3.0" and the National Museum's "Imagining the Mind - Immersive Experience of Van Gogh's Art" respond to the personalized needs of the audience in digital form - the digitization of knowledge dissemination and sensory experience, allowing history and culture to leap onto the screen through vivid, intuitive, and interactive forms, achieving a deep integration of scientific research and academic resources, artistic expression methods, and aesthetic education. Promoting the integrated development of cultural and museum resources. Currently, digital cultural and museum is leaping into a new era of high-quality development with a new attitude. From "Cloud Tour of the Great Wall" leading the audience to leap over the ruins of the Great Wall, to "Digital Dunhuang" opening up an important window for global dissemination of Dunhuang culture, to the launch of the digital cultural and museum platform "Shanhai", Hunan Museum has established a "Museum Digital Intelligence Alliance" with 14 museums including Shaanxi History Museum and Nanchang Han Dynasty Haihun Hou Guo Site Museum... Digital cultural and museum relies on the platform to build, share achievements, activate and utilize thinking, fully creating new experiences, new ideas, and new mechanisms. The "Shanhai" platform gathers a massive amount of digital collections from around the world, integrating functions such as digital collection of cultural relics, 3D appreciation of cultural relics, AI interaction, and personalized museums. The platform will use blockchain technology as its core, integrate industrial resources such as cultural heritage, cultural and creative industries, film and television, animation, and games, create an open and transparent community, and build a platform for the incubation and realization of cultural heritage IP by providing digital exhibition of cultural relics, user co creation, IP authorization, derivative product development, etc. Based on the common pursuit, museums in all provinces and cities will no longer become scattered "islands", but will instead be woven into a network of thousands of nodes. We will optimize the construction of online digital museums based on the principle of consultation, build a collection database of digital intelligence museums with the idea of joint construction, achieve new communication, new education and new cultural innovation of digital intelligence museums with the concept of joint creation, achieve the transformation of achievements of "culture+technology" with the goal of sharing, provide the public with a richer, diversified and interactive cultural and museum experience, and usher in a broad Xintiandi in technology research and development, high-quality content output, digital resource transformation, data mechanism establishment and other aspects. The rich and people-oriented cultural experience of digital technology has transformed museums from static "knowledge warehouses" into vibrant "cultural experience venues", active cultural communities, and a new type of digital field and cultural space. With the help of digital technology, more than 6000 museums across the country are actively embarking on a new journey towards digitization. Ai Wenwen, the first virtual digital intelligence person at the National Museum of China, has become the spokesperson for virtual world museums. The Palace Museum has used digital technology to preserve information on over 1.86 million collections. The Jiangxin Museum of Zhejiang Province has restarted the "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountain" from more than 600 years ago with a holographic scroll. The "Searching for Sanxingdui - Archaeological Excavation Site of Sacrificial Pits" VR immersive exploration experience at Sanxingdui Museum takes visitors to appreciate the charm of millennium old cultural relics. The "Jin Dynasty's Mighty Style - Shanxi Two Weeks Fine Cultural Relics Digital Exhibition" at Shanxi Museum opens a digital window for foreign people to understand Chinese culture... On the vibrant digital chain, digital cultural museums unveil the mysterious veil of cultural relics from different dynasties and periods, comb through profound cultural veins, and enhance visitors' understanding of Chinese culture. Understanding and comprehension of 'Why China'. The digital cultural museum has connected the "last mile" of cultural relic viewing. Whether it's the recently popular cultural and artistic emoticons that make cultural relics more vivid and tangible, or TV programs like "National Treasure" and "If National Treasures Can Speak" that have sparked a nationwide craze, digital technology is leading the way for cultural and artistic exhibitions to bloom in ordinary households with its unique advantages. Under the empowerment of numbers, always putting people at the center should be the foundation and direction of efforts for digital cultural heritage. (New Society)
