Abstract

Opera embodies deep cultural heritage and traditional lifestyles and deserves engaging promotion and preservation. However, traditional Chinese opera performances and experiences often fall short of meeting the expectations of modern audiences. This paper focuses on using the latest technologies to set up a bridge that not only preserves and promotes traditional cultural heritage but also aligns with modern viewing habits. Through volumetric video capture and 3D reconstruction, we captured high-fidelity performances of opera artists and recreated an ancient stage with interactive particle effects to build an experience in virtual reality (VR). Users can engage with the environment through their singing and gesture movement where the amplitude of Cantonese opera vocals and gestures will influence interactive point cloud particles, creating a dynamic atmosphere. This experience aims to trigger the curiosity of younger audiences in the appreciation of traditional performing arts.
