Introduction
The rise of virtual reality created an innovative medium for the appreciation of art. Since 2015, the National Place Museum and HTC, the global leader in VR, have collaborated in reimagining and reinterpreting many masterpieces.
The immersive VR recreation of "The Spirit of Autobiography" (based on T'ang dynasty Huaisu's cursive script – Autobiography) and "Roaming through Fantasy Land" (based on Yuan dynasty painter Zhao Mengfu's "Autumn Colors on the Qiao & Hua Mountains") redefined the standard for digital art content.
In 2018, HTC VIVE team announced a new VR title based on the Qing Dynasty masterpiece "Up the River During Qingming". It enables viewers to examine the painting in great detail, and features interactive games of iconic scenes depicted in the scroll. Through the VIVE Pro headset, you can now appreciate art the way it was meant to be appreciated, and in ways never before thought possible.
This special exhibition includes:
- Up the River During Qingming VR: Rainbow Bridge
- Up the River During Qingming VR: Outdoor Theater
- Up the River During Qingming VR: Golden Orchid Restaurant
- "Roaming through Fantasy Land" & "The Spirit of Autobiography"
