QiaoLe

We present the design of a VR system (QiaoLe) in which people can access and learn about traditional Chinese musical instruments. Virtual Reality (VR) offers the potential for more engaging access to Intangible Cultural Heritage. We present the design of a VR system (QiaoLe) in which people can access and learn about traditional Chinese musical instruments. We undertook a user study of QiaoLe (24 participants) comparing three interaction modes. Results suggest that embodied interaction and gamification improved users’ experience, presence, and enjoyment in QiaoLe, but gamification may distract from rote learning.
