I designed this series of interactive games for those who have a passion for traditional culture, allowing users to gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Northern Song Dynasty. This includes a "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" VR game, a Northern Song Dynasty knowledge base, and an interactive interface with an AI model trained on Northern Song Dynasty art works.
Official Website
This official website is the entry point for these two web-based games, aside from the VR one. Users can also click on "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to learn about the VR game information on the website.
VR Game：Along the River During the Qingming Festival
This VR game is based on the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival," and a 3D map of Bianliang City from the Northern Song Dynasty has been created as a reference.
In this game, players will take on the role of a delivery person during the Northern Song Dynasty, delivering goods to people of different classes, professions, and regions. In the process, they will visit various corners of Bianliang City, talk to different people, and through these interactions, the game will introduce players to the culture of the Northern Song Dynasty. For instance, when they need to deliver something to a boatman, they will learn about the shipbuilding developments of the Northern Song Dynasty. When they need to deliver something to nobles, they will learn about the feudal system of the Northern Song Dynasty, among other things.
Knowledge Base Website
The entire knowledge base is like a vast network composed of individual knowledge points. Players who have not learned certain knowledge will not be able to see its content clearly. When they learn something new, they need to complete corresponding mini-games, such as answering questions, connecting dots, etc. Through this method, they explore those areas of knowledge they have not learned.
When users are reading the content of a piece of knowledge, they can click on other knowledge point entries that appear, thereby navigating to the interface of that particular knowledge point.
Nothern Song Dynasty Art Generator
We train AI on a vast collection of works from the Northern Song Dynasty. Users can select a Northern Song Dynasty art piece they like, whether it's a mural, a landscape painting (such as Guo Xi's Early Spring 早春图), or even architecture (like the Da Xiangguo Temple 大相国寺). They just need to input the content they want to create, and they can get an art piece in the corresponding style.
