Summary
A mobile application for virtual heritage, utilizing 4D visualization and location-based services (LBS), successfully bridges the gap between professional heritage documentation and public engagement. This innovation enables dynamic, tempo-spatial storytelling of UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Beijing's Summer Palace, enhancing on-site experiences through iOS compatibility while fostering interaction via user-generated content (UGC). The Re-yuangmingyuan program demonstrates how such technologies can revolutionize heritage conservation by facilitating real-time dialogue between managers and the public. While implementation challenges persist, this approach sets a precedent for leveraging modern tech to preserve and share cultural narratives globally.
