Drunken Dragon Cyber Dance: Application of Augmented Reality Technology in Drunken Dragon Cultural Heritage Education

The Drunken Dragon Festival is a traditional folk sacrificial activity that originated in Xiangshan, Guangdong Province, China. After foreign migrant residents moved to Macao, they brought customs such as the drunken dragon dance in the Drunken Dragon Festival into Macao. Under the influence of subsequent foreign culture and urbanization development, the traditional culture gradually became silent. This research plans to use augmented reality technology to protect the drunken dragon dance and build it into an android app with interaction design enhancement. Then, children can interactively understand the Drunken Dragon Festival anytime, anywhere. The research design is divided into three major parts: field investigation, 3d modeling, and AR interaction design. In the beginning, we obtained the basic gestures of drunken dragon dance from professional performers through field investigation. They were then transferred into an action sequence and 3D model. Finally, user interaction design and augmented reality were used to generate an android application. The generated AR application is used for children’s cultural heritage education.
