Immersive Navigation in the Lü-dao Garden: Integrating AR, VR, and Virtual Agents

Abstract

This study presents an interdisciplinary framework that leverages Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for the digital reconstruction and narrative navigation of the Lü-dao Garden (履道園), a lost Tang Dynasty heritage associated with poet Bai Juyi. While traditional digital preservation often focuses on static geometry, our approach integrates literary schemas with immersive technology to revive historical narratives. By synthesizing advanced 3D modeling with interactive features such as couplet visualization and simulated ancient lifestyle scenarios, we provide a multifaceted educational platform. The results demonstrate that this fusion of technological innovation and historical scholarship significantly enhances user engagement and spatial understanding, offering a scalable model for the preservation of "lost" cultural heritage.
