Abstract:

Immersive digital narrative of archival resources accelerates the three-dimensionalization and concreteness of archival memory, realizing the evolution from physical space to memory space. This study reviews the current status of the development and utilization of archival resources from the perspective of digital humanities, analyzes the limitations of the current construction of immersive digital narratives of archival resources, and demonstrates the feasibility of immersive narrative paths based on sophisticated sound design in the development and utilization of archival resources. Taking the relevant archives of Soong Ching Ling and the China Welfare Institute as an example, we synesthetically construct an audio-visual archival immersive narrative method based on multiple state-of-the-art technologies, such as VR, Meta Human and Mockingbird. It verifies the possibility of multi-modal cross-fertilization of music and image resources. By combining the virtual exhibition hall with panoramic views and lossless sound effects, archival resources and image resources can be extended from a flat space to an infinite three-dimensional space.
