Application Research of Intangible Cultural Heritage Preservation Based on AR Technology in Sichuan Opera Virtual Costume Try-on and Interactive Face Changing
There are significant challenges in attracting young people's attention to the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) .Even Sichuan opera,a highly interactive and entertaining local cultural repre-sentative,struggles with inheritance issues.To solve this problem,this paper utilizes Augmented Reality (AR) technology to achieve a virtual try-on of Sichuan opera costumes and interactive face transformation for Sichuan op-era.By virtual modeling,skeleton binding,weight setting of Sichuan opera dan-role costumes,and rendering map-ping using body tracking and ray tracing as well as cloth simulation techniques,the AR try-on of Sichuan opera costumes is realized.Additionally,the representative facial masks of Sichuan opera's face-changing and role types are digitally reconstructed in 3D,and AR interactive face transformation is accomplished through visual program-ming.Experimental results demonstrate that in the AR environment,real-time matching and stable interaction a-mong human body movements,costumes,and facial masks are achieved.By conducting AR experiments and sur-veys among the youth group,it is found that compared to traditional methods,AR technology is more effective in capturing the attention and recognition of the younger generation.This is beneficial for the inheritance and develop-ment of intangible cultural heritage within this demographic.
