Immersive theater, interactive viewing, customized souvenirs... The "Painting Tour of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains - Immersive Art Exhibition of the Forbidden City" exhibited in Lijia Wisdom Park in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, uses digital technology to re-present the Northern Song Dynasty painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", allowing people to understand the excellent traditional culture in a more vivid way.

The bead curtain is stirred, the sound of the guqin enters the ear, and a corridor of light and shadow that is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality comes into view. Tourists seem to step into a kaleidoscope, and the colorful picture scrolls of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are greeted.

This is the "Painting Tour of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains - Immersive Art Exhibition of the Forbidden City" being exhibited in Lijia Wisdom Park, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, which uses digital technology to re-present the silk color painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" created by Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty. Jointly launched by the Palace Museum, Phoenix TV and Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, the exhibition is part of the "Painting Tour Series National Treasure Digital Art IP Research and Development Program".

Green landscapes and digital technologies blend

The corridor waist is back, attracting tourists to continue to move forward, turning a few corners, and suddenly opening up in front of them, entering the world of blue light and shadow. Here, it tells the story of the young Wang Ximeng's experience of learning to paint.

From the beginning of the brush to the completion of the painting, what is the landscape in Wang Ximeng's mind? The designers have fully excavated and refined the content of the painting course and cultural course studied by Wang Ximeng.

"We extract the mountain and water elements and feel the vastness of thousands of miles." Looking in the direction of the fingers of Zhang Ying, the person in charge of the exhibition hall, the hazy landscape image seems to be surging with Danqing. The interpretation of digital art restores the light and shadow "Xuanhe Painting Academy" here.

"Before I came, I thought it was just the picture 'moving', but I didn't expect that it was such an exhibition full of cultural charm." Mr. Yi, a citizen, sighed.

Cultural corridors, paintings, Danqing Theater... The projection area of more than 1,000 square meters has created a feast for the senses of oriental aesthetics. In a long scroll, green landscapes and digital technologies blend together, full of exploration and novelty.

One scene and one experience, the exhibition is a cultural expression that can be seen everywhere. At the "deep string", with the slow walking, the rhythm of the guqin flows to the ears.

"Using infrared technology, every step tourist takes is like plucking a string, and a guqin song can be played after continuous walking." In Zhang Ying's view, such a design not only hopes that tourists can see art exhibits, but also hopes to convey the magnificent colors of art in an all-round way.

With the same effect, there is also the Danqing Theater. This "Panoramic Experience Immersive Theater" is surrounded by stars, and many tourists sit on the ground. "It's amazing, there's an experience of traveling through the clouds in a painting." Jiang Ying, the audience, saw this kind of exhibition for the first time, holding up her mobile phone and taking pictures. On the screen, the particles of light and shadow slowly move, re-showing the details of the painting.

The designers give the exhibits more innovative connotations. A long scroll with a length of 26 meters and a height of 5 meters is a "Map of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" that changes day and night. The boat moves with the river, the sun sprays out, the mountains and rivers are covered with light, this is the "sunrise - butterfly dance"; after a while, there is a light rain in the air, the painting is covered with daisy, and a "morning rain - ink dragon" is displayed in front of the audience. From sunny days to quiet nights, from flower rain to fluorescent stars, the former silk ink pen transforms into a overflowing streamer, from the eyes to the heart.

Interactive experiences add interest to the exhibition

Tourists stop in front of the long scroll, and the starting point of the fireflies has already quietly gathered under their feet. Every time they move, the flowing fireflies follow the footsteps of tourists and converge into flowers of light and shadow.

"Look! The petals will follow me. The children on the side were excited. Next to the long scroll, whenever someone approaches, a piece of petal will appear and follow the visitor.

Figures pass by, the water follows the surge, and the flocks of small fish are patted, and the fish will scatter everywhere.

The use of digital projection and virtual images will display the famous paintings in front of the audience in three dimensions, and the interactive experience will immerse visitors in them and add interest to the exhibition.

Behind the ingenuity is the continuous study of the designer. "Real-time rendering technology is mainly used in the exhibition hall, such as the audience walking in front of the long scroll, there will be petals following; according to the time, the long scroll will have a day and night screen switching." Cheng Xiaolong, project director of Phoenix Digital Technology, said, "In the traditional display industry, the use of offline rendering technology is more, which renders a frame of picture for a long time, and real-time rendering technology needs to consider real-time in applications. "Compared to offline rendering, real-time rendering allows viewers to interact with the work in real time, resulting in a kaleidoscopic visual effect and experience.

However, achieving such a technical effect is not an easy task. During the production process, the technical team encountered difficulties. There are large areas of real-time rendering applications in the exhibition hall, and to achieve good on-site effects, the computer has to render more than 30 frames per second. "Under the accumulation of high-precision art material, a large amount of content can make calculations very slow." Cheng Xiaolong said that the way to overcome it is to keep trying, "optimizing the material, making trade-offs on the content, and upgrading the rendering method until the content and efficiency are acceptable." ”

Scan the QR code to fly a kite in the changing long picture. "The phone is the kite line, and you can put the kite wherever you want to fly." Such interactive experiences appeal to many parents and children. Behind this is also the application of real-time rendering technology.

Not only that, but in the real-time interactive rendering technology, the team has also put a lot of effort into it. "A lot of the technology in the venue uses real-time audio and fluid simulation." Cheng Xiaolong said that based on these technologies, the team can give more connotation to the landscape, "We see that when people touch the wall, there will be an ink-like effect flowing upwards, which is the use of this technology." ”

Let visitors take culture home

Interaction is the design idea that runs through the entire exhibition. To complete your own "map of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains", you only need to tap the screen. The audience can drag and arbitrarily combine the landscape pavilions in the original work, and then engrave an exclusive seal, stamp a stamp on the painting, and a "customized version" of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is completed. In the end, by scanning the code, you can "take away" this work.

"Through the process of painting creation full of science and technology, the audience can feel the artistic style of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" up close." Zhang Ying told reporters.

How can you enhance your audience's immersive experience? Not only in the viewing, there is a "painting in the middle" perception, in the cultural and creative exhibition area, many children also linger. Scan the QR code, you can see a variety of different lanterns, fans and other products full of Song Rhyme. If you want to take it away, you need to make it together with your parents and children.

Qiqi and her mother were constantly busy, and before long, a small rabbit lantern was formed in Qi qi's hand. "There is new knowledge, there is fun, and we hope to come to this kind of exhibition a few more times." Qi Qi's mother said. Through an exhibition, more young people have re-acquainted themselves with "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". "For a child, this approach can attract him into the art world and learn about Chinese culture in a more vivid way." Zhang Ying introduced that this exhibition will last for one year. Next, the team will make an exhibition on the "Qingming River Map".
