Body as Echoes: Cyber Archiving of Dazu Rock Carvings

The 'Body As Echoes: Cyber Archiving of Dazu Rock Carvings' project successfully bridges digital heritage conservation with advanced technological applications, setting a precedent for sustainable preservation and education. By leveraging photogrammetry and digital sculpting, the project transforms tangible cultural heritage at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dazu Rock Carvings into high-resolution 3D models, ensuring long-term accessibility. A notable achievement is the development of an interactive info-motion interface that enhances public engagement with these digital resources, particularly in STEM education contexts. This approach not only preserves the physical and intangible aspects of the carvings but also fosters intercultural collaboration by making the digital archive available to global institutions and local authorities. The project's integration of VR, projection mapping, and interactive design techniques offers a novel framework for narrating and consolidating cultural heritage, thereby enriching both academic research and public understanding.
