Abstract

The digital protection of cultural heritage is a key task in cultural construction as specified in the 14th Five Year Plan for Cultural Development, and human-computer interaction technology is the key support for breaking down barriers between digital resources and user needs, improving the efficiency and breadth of the utilization and dissemination of protection achievements. Based on the research of the real projects that have been launched by domestic authoritative institutions such as the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang "Digital Dunhuang", the Forbidden City "Digital Forbidden City", and the digital restoration of the Terra Cotta Warriors in the the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, this paper analyzes the practical application forms of human-computer interaction in the digital protection of cultural heritage from the two dimensions of professional protection and mass communication, extracts three types of typical models that can be launched: immersive experience, collaborative restoration, and lightweight participation, and discusses the balance path between technology adaptability and cultural authenticity. Actual cases and data analysis show that human-computer interaction design that meets the needs of the scene can significantly improve the utilization rate of digital resources and effectively stimulate the public's enthusiasm for cultural heritage participation, providing practical technical references for the active inheritance of cultural heritage. Relevant practical experience can directly provide reference for similar digital protection projects.
