| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims at implementing an learning platform for Japanese traditional culture using SecondLife (SL), which is the most popular metaverse infrastructure. As a first step, we constructed 3D metaverse that includes virtual Kimono museums, virtual Noh theater, and virtual Shinto shrine, for exhibiting tangible Japanese cultural heritage. We also constructed a mechanism to experience intangible cultural heritage by applying motion capture technology to avatar-based animation on the virtual Noh theater. A serious game for learning manners and customs for worshiping at Shinto shrine were also implemented. As a second step, we conducted learning experiments among the international and Japanese students. The analytical results of these experiments suggest that the interaction and co-playing in 3D metaverse could provide participants embodied and effective situated learning about tangible and intangible Japanese cultural heritage.
