The Forbidden City launches a virtual reality experience online


For a long time, the Forbidden City has a great ability to play a variety of high-tech + cultural and creative. In the past, the treasures of the emperor's deep palace have become cute little things that appear in the lives of ordinary people. The solemn place of the Forbidden City is also become more and more approachable.

Now the Forbidden City provides fans with two different VR experiences in the Qing Dynasty. One is to follow the old craftsmen to understand the traditional decoration process, and the other is to follow the modern cultural relics experts to appreciate and maintain the cultural relics.

Juanqing Room is an integral part of the Ningshou Palace in the Forbidden City. It is the nominal resting place after Emperor Qianlong became the emperor. Juanqing Room is known as one of the most luxurious places in the Forbidden City. After more than ten years of restoration work, in 2016, it was first opened to the public.


People can experience VR scene by the mobile App or the PC. The App is to follow the old craftsman to understand the decoration process, which is divided into navigation mode and free mode: The navigation mode is to follow the set route, and the free mode can be arbitrarily selected the goal to explore.

At the beginning, there will be modeling of the whole building. The audience can explore it layer by layer, and each layer has different display focuses, such as painting and calligraphy, decoration and so on. Click to enlarge, there will be a detailed explanation and introduction.


The web page on the PC is followed by the young lady wearing blue overalls to understand the maintenance of ancient buildings. This part is the first perspective so it is more immersive. After the staff explained the relevant cultural relics, the audience also needs a simple operation to repair the cultural relics, and then answer the questions raised by the staff to proceed to the next step.


It feels like that people can travel the Forbidden City for free. During the exploration, some details that are easily overlooked in the Forbidden City are displayed, such as the double-sided embroidery of the window. The two sides look perfect, and there are no messy stitches. It can be said that it reflects the emperor's luxury life in the Qing Dynasty.

And some decorations can be split into several parts to enlarge, although the modeling is not very delicate, but with the explanation can still satisfy the desire of learning the Forbidden City, it is very suitable for fans of the Forbidden City.

For the Forbidden City, which has always been keeping innovation and combining fresh technology, this is not the first time to launch an immersive experience project. In 2017, the Forbidden City launched the VR immersive experience project of Zhu Xi(Ming Dynasty) to build the Forbidden City to help the audience understand the Forbidden City in a comprehensive and more realistic way.


In addition to stimulating the curiosity of young tourists and increasing the "hotness" of the Forbidden City, VR can also help cultivate the cultural relics appreciation ability, promote the significance of protection work, and cultivate a new generation of young people's awareness of cultural relics protection.

VR is a new technology that has been hot for a few years, and it is still an exciting experience for many people. Previously, a series of creative products and pictures produced by the Palace Museum made its revenue exceed the annual ticket sales, and the audience were mostly young people. So VR is actually a good way to attract people to pay attention to the Forbidden City.

From another point of view, if VR is used to display artifacts, the audience can enjoy the cultural relics in an all-round and unrestricted manner, and will be brought into the world where the cultural relics are located. It will also make people feel the owner of the cultural relics. Such people, thus creating a more stereoscopic image of ancient characters, a better understanding of history.


In this VR experience, a more three-dimensional image of Qianlong was presented to the audience. This is a subtle education for the market and the audience. Through a variety of cultural relics display methods, people can understand every aspect of history, and thus build a more close to the real historical figures.


Excluding everything else that has far-reaching implications, various VR experiences are better publicity for the Forbidden City. Over the years, the Palace Museum has made the national treasures come to life through artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other technologies, as well as various high-tech technologies, and changed the past stereotype of the Forbidden City.


The new VR documentary was also sent to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was very surprised. Due to the protection of cultural relics, the Palace Museum stipulates that exhibits after the exhibition will be exhibited again in three years. Shan Yuxiang,Dean of the Forbidden City Museum, said that according to this speed, all the 156,000 pieces of the Forbidden City will be exhibited for 913 years. Therefore, the digitalization of the Forbidden City is to hope that these exhibits will experience and appreciate the charm of the Forbidden City when they are not on display.

AI technology: can know your nationality by checking your handwriting

The handwriting will reveal identity information, but now AI technology goes a step further, and the handwriting can expose nationality. Researchers have tried to read handwriting through AI to get information about the person's emotions, gender, age, etc. This time their focus has expanded from individual to nationality. The 100 volunteers were from Malaysia, Iran, China, India, and Bangladesh. Researchers asked them to write the same English, and then use a linear distribution (COLD) recognition tool to analyze the shape distribution characteristics of the font, such as straightness, Bending and so on. The results showed that even if the volunteers with the same nationality were written in the country, the handwriting showed a distinct "nationality" character. This is the difference in writing habits made by words. Chinese people who are accustomed to straight strokes of Chinese characters, even if they write Roman letters, will not change the straight-line wr...
