Summary
A novel approach using Leap Motion technology enhances the immersive experience of digital exhibitions at UNESCO World Heritage Sites, particularly for the Old Summer Palace. This somatosensory interaction method allows users to engage with virtual reconstructions through intuitive hand gestures, reducing reliance on traditional input devices like mice or keyboards. The study demonstrates that high-fidelity virtual environments can effectively bridge the gap between real and simulated experiences, offering a non-invasive way to explore cultural heritage without altering original sites. This innovation addresses challenges in digital preservation by enabling detailed scene interactions while preserving historical integrity.
