LanternOperAR: A Hybrid Cultural Gift for Quality Education and FamilyWell-being

Abstract

Quality education and well-being have always been the focus of sustainable development as social concerns, with an increasing demand for enriched cultural activities. Shared experiences, especially in family setting, bring about a better understanding of culture and foster public interest. In this context, our research endeavors to promote the philosophies and historical insights of Yangmingism while concurrently seeking to uplift family well-being through the immersive cultural exposure offered by Yue Opera, a national opera in China. To intertwine the cultural content for a consistent and continued experience, we design LanternOperAR, a hybrid gift for cultural appreciation, learning and recreation. We fully consider and respect user interests and requirements among different target groups to provide playful interaction in cultural activity, thereby promoting cultural inheritance and strengthening family ties.
