Enhancing Cultural Education through Integrating Restoration and VR Storytelling Exploration

Redtory was a historical symbol that emerged from an old industrial site in Guangzhou and transformed into a contemporary creative park. However, it was unfortunately demolished in May 2019. The study aims to leverage the immersive and interactive advantages of VR technology to design a gamified storytelling experience while restoring the historical memory of Redtory. The project incorporates VST theory to design the interactive storyline. To achieve this, the VR platform covered various scenes, including the starting scene, factory buildings, historical square, and the creative corridor. Interactive elements such as landmarks and interactive art devices can enhance tourists’ curiosity and engagement throughout the tour. The findings of this study provide insights and potential directions for future research in creating immersive and educational experiences.
