Abstract

Traditional intangible cultural heritage museums face challenges such as lagging technological updates, insufficient social media applications, and a lack of digital marketing, resulting in significantly diminished user experiences and an inability to meet the public's expectations for cultural immersion and deep cognitive engagement. Currently, virtual reality technology is advancing rapidly, and virtual museums gradually become a key medium for the digital preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage. From a multimodal perspective, users can engage in deep interactions with intangible cultural heritage exhibits. This interaction model not only fosters a more profound understanding and greater interest in intangible cultural heritage but also addresses the previous narrow transmission pathways of such cultural resources, further promoting the inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage. This paper takes Shanxi's intangible cultural heritage as the research subject, designing and implementing a multimodal digital intangible cultural heritage museum exhibition hall based on the Unity3D platform. The goal is to explore new channels for the digital dissemination of intangible cultural heritage through technological integration and user experience optimization.
