Abstract

Using virtual reality technology to achieve the three-dimensional digitalization of ceramic artworks and accessing these 3D digital models through a web browser can provide a new approach for the promotion and dissemination of traditional ceramic culture. This paper aims to preserve traditional ceramic culture and craftsmanship as intangible cultural heritage, enhancing public understanding of traditional ceramic culture. Taking Jingdezhen ceramics as an example, various ceramics are three-dimensionally modeled using modeling software. A virtual exhibition hall is created in Unity3D, where the ceramic models are placed and interactive features are built, enabling functionalities such as virtual tours of the ceramic exhibition, ceramic viewing, and ceramic making. By leveraging WebGL, users can access the virtual exhibition system through a web browser. The virtual exhibition system promotes public understanding of ceramic culture and virtual reality technology, revitalizing traditional artifacts and promoting the inheritance and digital preservation of ceramic culture.
