In mid-April, the world's first new generation "Transtemporal and Participatory Museum" built using game technology - the "Digital Dunhuang Cave" - officially went online! The project was completed in cooperation between the Dunhuang Academy and Tencent.Inc. The public can access the "Digital Dunhuang Cave" through the "Digital Dunhuang" official website.
This is the first time in the world that digital scanning and 3D reconstruction tech has been used in the digital realm. The project comprehensively used high-definition digital scanning, game engine physical rendering, global dynamic lighting and other game techs to restore the Chinese Dunhuang Grottoes in millimeter-level high-definition. It has prime significance in gaming technology application and digital cultural relics.
The Dunhuang Sutra Caves are one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and are known as the "key to unlocking the history of the medieval world." And the "Digital Sutra Cave" model has a resolution of up to 4k and adopts a modern Chinese art style. The design team has set up many interactive points, allowing the public to freely view the scriptures from different historical periods such as the Late Tang Dynasty, Northern Song Dynasty, and the late Qing Dynasty. The public can personally participate in the profound history of the Mogao Sutra Caves. Through witnessing key historical scenes and the historical changes, visitors can intuitively understand the value and charm of Chinese Dunhuang culture and art.
Based on a hundred years of research in Dunhuang studies and the technical advantages of gaming technology, "Digital Sutra Cave" has pioneered a new perception and experience mode. It is leading the way in the creation of "Transtemporal and Participatory Museums" ,exploring new models for the innovation and presentation of traditional culture worldwide, and making active exploration in global digital sharing.
Sheer Game participated in the entire process of the "Digital Sutra Cave" project, using cutting-edge game production technology to present history in a brand new way. Sheer Game is honored to participate in this project, helping to inherit and spread the classic Chinese traditional culture and art, and exploring more possibilities for the application of gaming technology.
Meanwhile, Sheer Game supports this incredible cultural project by providing a full set of 3D scanning and top-notch environment production. Sheer’s art service is a core part to the outcome and has demonstrated a high-level artistic/technical capability. Moreover, through frequently participating in projects like "Digital Great Wall" and "Digital Sutra Cave", we have gained valuable experience in customizing diverse art solutions. We have great confidence that such internal technological innovations will enable us to improve service quality on a long-term basis.
