I. Planning Ideas
(1) 3D Reconstruction and Virtual Tour of Temples
Utilise 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and modelling to create precise 3D models of temples. Develop virtual tour platforms to present these models, allowing users to explore temple architecture, sculptures, and murals in an immersive way. This will facilitate the preservation of temple cultural heritage and provide new ways of experiencing it.
(2) Digital Archive of Temple History and Cultural Resources
Collect and digitise historical documents, images, and other materials related to temples. Establish a comprehensive digital archive to store information on temple history, architecture, religious practices, and cultural activities. This archive will serve as a resource for academic research and cultural preservation.
(3) Research on Temple Architecture and Art Using Digital Technology
Apply digital tools such as 3D scanning and digital imaging to analyse temple architecture and art. Study the design, construction techniques, and artistic styles of temples, and explore their historical and cultural significance. This will enhance our understanding of temple cultural heritage.
(4) Development of Temple Digital Management Systems
Create integrated digital management systems for temples to cover conservation, restoration, tourism management, and religious activities. This will improve the scientific and efficient management of temples and support their sustainable development.
(5) Digital Dissemination and Education on Temple Culture
Use digital media and online platforms to spread temple culture. Create digital content such as online courses, video lectures, and digital exhibitions to introduce temple history, architecture, and religious practices to a wider audience. This will raise public awareness and appreciation of temple culture.
II. Introduction to Temple Digitisation Research
(1) Research Objectives
Temple Digitisation Research aims to apply digital technologies to the study, preservation, and dissemination of temple cultural heritage. It seeks to explore new methods and approaches for temple research and protection in the digital age, promote the integration of temple culture with modern technology, and enhance the influence and vitality of temple culture in contemporary society.
(2) Research Content
