Abstract: Using advanced technology with cultural heritage digitization, preservation and exhibition was widely researched in the past few years. However, using advanced technologies to interpret cultural heritage has been many cultural heritage organizations¡¦ endeavours to achieve up-to-date. With updating innovative technology, how to apply advanced and innovative technology to help cultural heritage organizations is also a big challenge. This paper aims to present the development of the installation, Turning Rust into Gold. The primary goal of this installation is to help audiences viewing ancient Mao-Kung Ting vividly with the advantages of computational technology. Ultimately, the purpose of this interactive system is to educate audiences the importance of cultural objects preservation through the interactive-based simulation of natural weathering process. This installation is an interactive multimedia system that we developed to facilitate the communication between mu!
seum audiences and the virtual Mao-Kung Ting. Treasured by the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, the Mao-Kung Ting is an ancient bronze cauldron that is well-known for its historical significance in Chinese culture. To reveal the great nature of this ancient artefact and to translate its history into a meaningful narrative, computer techniques have been employed. While the de-/weathering simulation techniques have been applied to restore the bronze to its original shiny golden status, the breath-based biofeedback and touch interface have been utilized as user interfaces to trigger the de-weathering process of the virtual artefact. Finally, the interview-based evaluations were conducted for museum educational applications.
