Beyond the Canvas
Project by Jiaxin Liu
This research project explored AR and VR in creating immersive experiences for Dutch painter Rembrandt, grounded in a methodology of artistic practice, user-centered design, and interaction design. The project hopes to invite participants to experience historical arts from a new dimension, enhance participants' engagement, and make historical arts accessible to a broader society. Design plays a crucial role in the connection of the past, present, and future. This project is hoped to lead to a deeper exploration of digital experiences in the art and cultural heritage sector, turning digitalization into a way of engaging rather than distracting.
