At the recently held 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the nation's first immersive red culture experience exhibition using LBE VR technology, "Digital First CPC National Congress • Journey of the Original Aspiration," was successfully launched nationwide.
This project was jointly completed by the "Digital First CPC National Congress" innovation brand of the Memorial Hall of the First CPC National Congress, the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, along with industry experts. It aims to explore innovative forms of red culture dissemination, using technological means to allow visitors to experience the original mission and glorious journey of the Party.
Participating in the "Digital First CPC National Congress • Journey of the Original Aspiration" project is a concrete measure for the Shanghai Theatre Academy to establish itself as a model university for the best practices of Xi Jinping's cultural thought. The Creative Academy of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, along with the Key Laboratory of Artistic Creation in Virtual Environments of Shanghai and the Key Laboratory of Digital Performing Arts Integration and Innovation of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, both built by the Shanghai Theatre Academy, played an active role in the project. They strive to promote the inheritance and innovation of red culture through the integration of art and technology.
The design project team worked closely with experts from the Memorial Hall of the First CPC National Congress to accurately restore the historical environment of the site and faithfully recreate that magnificent journey. During the restoration work, the team consulted a large number of written records and precious video materials to ensure the accurate restoration of the historical appearance.
The design project team conducted research on the building of the First CPC National Congress site, gaining an in-depth understanding of its historical background, architectural style, and usage at the time. They also compared the building's exterior, interior layout, and surrounding environment with video materials. Under the guidance of experts from the Memorial Hall of the First CPC National Congress, they developed a detailed restoration plan.
The design project team also adjusted and optimized the internal layout based on historical data, carefully arranging historical scenes to recreate the living details of the time. During the modeling process, the team referred to a large amount of historical materials and photographs, architectural and street styles of the same period, and the business environment around the site. They also specially arranged furniture and items with period characteristics to create a strong historical atmosphere.
The Key Laboratory of Artistic Creation in Virtual Environments of Shanghai and the Key Laboratory of Digital Performing Arts Integration and Innovation of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, both built by the Shanghai Theatre Academy, not only provided important support for the success of this project but will also continue to carry out innovative explorations in the integration of science and art in the future.
