Shared experiences across multiple devices: a new digital interactive experience method for cultural heritage based on mixed reality

In order to study the role of the new technological concept of shared experiences in the digital interactive experience of cultural heritage and apply it to the digital interactive experience of cultural heritage to solve the current problems in this field, starting from the mixed reality (MR) technology that the shared experiences rely on, proper software and hardware platforms were investigated and selected, a universal shared experiences solution was designed, and an experimental project based on the proposed solution was made to verify its feasibility. In the end, a proven and workable shared experiences solution was obtained. This solution included a proposed MR spatial alignment method, and it integrated the existing MR content production process and standard network synchronization functions. Furthermore, it is concluded that the introduction and reasonable use of new technologies can help the development of the digital interactive experience of cultural heritage. The shared experiences solution for the digital interactive experience of cultural heritage balances investment issues in the exhibition, display effect, and user experience. It can speed up the promotion of cultural heritage and bring the vitality of MR technology to relevant projects. © 2022, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. All rights reserved.
