Dance of Drums: An Interactive Installation of ICH Dance Representation Through the Combination of Virtual and Reality

Abstract

With the development of the digital information, the digitalization and creative representation of the intangible culture heritage (ICH) dances have become the core of dance safeguarding. "Dance of Drums", an interactive installation combining virtual and reality for Chinese traditional bronze-drum dance representation, provides both external projected interface and internal virtual reality (VR) experiences. Specifically, "Dance of Drums"rebuilds the motions and folklore elements of bronze-drum dance through internal VR scenarios, and shows the history and ancient form of dance through the projected interface in real space, which reconstructs the static display of dances to promote the preservation and dissemination of bronze-drum dance.
