Interactive Preservation of Digital Cultural Heritage via Metaverses: A Case Study of Digital Shaolin : Long Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
In response to growing challenges in preserving cultural heritage sites, this study introduces a metaverse-based framework that transforms static digital preservation into an immersive, interactive digital ecosystem. The framework employs a structured ontological approach for high-fidelity data acquisition and multi-scale modeling that integrates both geometric and semantic layers. An advanced metaverse platform utilizing advanced mixed reality technologies provides context-aware, multisensory narratives, while a dynamic narrative engine—powered by knowledge structuring, adaptive interaction logic, and multimodal integration—enables personalized storytelling. The Digital Shaolin project serves as a case study, demonstrating the practical reconstruction and dissemination of the Shaolin Temple’s cultural heritage. This study contributes to the development of a sustainable and evolving model for digital heritage preservation and engagement.Details
