Abstract

With the growing popularity of tourism in China, the digital preservation and display of culturally significant tourist sites have become increasingly important. This study focuses on the 'Half Quilt' scenic spot in Shazhou Village, Rucheng County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, as a case study. By integrating digital modeling and simulation techniques, such as 3D modeling, 3D reconstruction, and neural radiance fields, we develop an immersive panoramic and 3D walkthrough of the site. The constructed 3D model is tested in the Unreal Engine 5 and can be deployed on web, mobile, and PC platforms, with additional support for VR and AR technologies. This enables users to experience virtual tours of the scenic spot, enhancing both its visibility and cultural significance.
