A study of integration application based on 5G/8K/AI/VR for the activation of intangible cultural heritage

Within the culture and tourism field, the activation of intangible cultural heritage has been a hot topic in recent years. A major way of doing that is through leveraging various cutting-edge technologies, in particular, 5G/8K/AI/VR. However, due to the diversity of intangible culture and inescapable relationships among different technologies, it is necessary to consider the integration application of the advanced technologies. There is a trend that the said technologies are often used to construct the immersive experience. A related embodied cognition theory is referred in this paper to build the theoretical basis. Then, a detailed analysis of the functions and features of 5G/8K/AI/VR is followed. Based on the research efforts, several integration application scenarios are summarised through case study for the activation of intangible cultural heritage.
