Abstract

The development of modern technology leads to the inevitable dismission of traditional techniques. However, this does not mean that tradition and traditional culture give way completely to trends. Innovating media applications like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) offer a new way of displaying antiquities, especially when travelling was restricted during the pandemic (Theodoropoulos & Antoniou 2022)[1]. For example, 3D modelling can help to reconstruct broken relics and interactive installation build a multi-dimensional view of history. Improving technologies provide a way of understanding history and thus inheriting traditional culture in more depth. While the digital age is having profound effects on how we imagine the future, it is proving equally significant in shaping how we recollect and confront the traces of our past (Burkey 2021)[2]. This article aims to outline and analyse the current dilemmas of applying digital media in the cultural heritage field from the perspectives of designers and audiences. It then introduces the dance drama Meet King Zhuang of Chu to critically examine the practical accomplishments of front-projected holographic display technology and non-linear narratives in.
