Digital Storytelling and Cultural Learning through Projection Mapping Technique

Abstract

This study presents the development process of an audio-visual exhibition titled "Portable Western," that utilizes video mapping techniques to showcase the rich culture and folk stories of Xinjiang, China. The production of the exhibition involved a collaborative effort among researchers, creative content and technical experts specializing in illustration, animation, instructional design and projection mapping. The primary objective of the exhibition was to introduce and celebrate Xinjiang's cultural heritage through a dynamic and immersive digital storytelling format. Additionally, the project sought to explore and expand the potential applications of projection mapping in the domain of digital storytelling by highlighting its potential in creating engaging and educational visual narratives. The findings offer valuable insights into the key components and interdisciplinary collaboration required for such projects. It would also demonstrate how audio-visual technologies may be leveraged for digital storytelling in cultural preservation and education.
