Narratology-Based Interaction Design of 3D Reconstructed Cultural Relics

Many museums have begun to pay attention to the application of the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique for protecting and displaying the cultural heritage. This is because it can demonstrate the 3D shape of the relics with high precision and from multiple angles. However, a survey in China indicated that most museums only use this technique as an auxiliary display, and have not fully utilize interactive techniques to exert the benefits of digital 3D simulation. Based on the theory of narratology, this study proposed a narrative conceptual framework with 12 elements by analyzing the narratological features of 3D reconstructed cultural relics, and used this narratological framework to plan and complete a 3D interactive design. Thus narratology was used as a design thinking of interactive design, changing the technology-oriented thinking habitually used in digital design. And the narrative mode of 3D interaction was also enriched through this study.
