Cultural Windows: Towards a Workflow for Immersive Journeys into Global Living Spaces
<|reference_start|>Cultural Windows: Towards a Workflow for Immersive Journeys into Global Living Spaces: "Cultural Windows" is a research initiative designed to enrich cross-cultural understanding through immersive extended reality (XR) experiences. This project proposes a workflow for deploying AR and VR platforms, allowing users to explore living spaces from diverse cultures and socio-economic statuses. The process involves 3D scanning of culturally significant objects, creating accurate models of living spaces, and integrating them into immersive systems to facilitate engagement with global living designs. Targeted at individuals curious about how people live in different parts of the world, the project aims to expand cross-cultural understanding and design perspectives, providing insights into the effectiveness of immersive technologies in cultural education. By detailing its conceptual framework, "Cultural Windows" aims to enhance comprehension and appreciation of global domestic aesthetics by comparing participants' perceptions with immersive, realistic representations of living spaces from different cultures. This can help bridge the gap between preconceived notions and the actual appearance and feel of these spaces.<|reference_end|>
