Signature Work Project Overview

The fusion of role-playing games and cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) technology has opened the doors to a new realm of immersive and interactive experiences within the gaming world. In this groundbreaking project, we embark on a journey to breathe life into the historic masterpiece known as the “Night Revels of Han Xizai” using the power of VR and artificial intelligence. Bylinking non-player characters (NPCs) with the capabilities of ChatGPT, we aim to create a captivating and dynamic gameplay environment that transports players to the heart of ancient Chinese culture, offering them the opportunity to shape the unfolding narrative.
This project represents a harmonious convergence of art, history, and technology as we leverage the latest advancements in VR to recreate the opulent setting and rich tapestry of characters from the Night Revels of Han Xizai. Culminating in an unforgettable gaming experience through VR technology, our goal is to anchor players in the reimagined world of “Night Revels of Han Xizai,” where they assume the roles of participants in an opulent Chinese banquet.
