At the opening session, Journalist Nguyen Viet Loc emphasized the importance of digitalization of Museum space: “In the current digital era, combining technology and culture is not only a trend but also an indispensable requirement. The digitalization of museums not only helps preserve precious artifacts but also provides opportunities to bring historical values closer to people, especially through digital platforms. This opens new doors for all of us to access and deepen our understanding of Vietnamese history and culture regardless of geographical distance.”
Journalist Nguyen Viet Loc emphasized the importance of digitalizing the museum in the present time
Accordingly, this is the first virtual museum project in Vietnam to integrate multiple advanced graphic technologies on a platform, including VR (Virtual Reality) technology; AR (Augmented Reality) technology; MR (Mixed Reality) technology and virtual guides. This contributes to “virtualization” of the museum, increasing access for global online visitors, and contributing to spreading Vietnamese culture and history to international friends.
Ho Chi Minh Museum is the first place to apply virtual simulation technologies in museum digitalization
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vo Dinh Bay expressed his hope for this cooperation: “This technology is a huge development in terms of promotion so that visitors can visit without presenting at the museum. This is not just a pre-made image which is filmed and then actualize, but we must constantly update it. I hope that this result is an initial step for the research team of Ho Chi Minh Museum, Vietnam Travel Magazine, and Meta Art Company to promote their strengths, make practical initiatives and contributions to the development of the application domain of art in collaboration with technology".
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vo Dinh Bay expressed his hope for this cooperation, which brings prospective opportunities for HUTECH
The signing ceremony for the project "Digitization of Ho Chi Minh Museum space - Ho Chi Minh City branch" took place with the participation of representatives from 4 units: Ho Chi Minh Museum - Ho Chi Minh City branch, HUTECH, Vietnam Travel Magazine, and Meta Art Company. This cooperation brings various advantages to the digitalization of the national culture and history, aiming to preserve and promote Vietnamese culture to international friends.
Representatives of 4 units signed a plan to coordinate the digitalization of the Ho Chi Minh Museum
Accordingly, HUTECH will research and apply technology in the digitalization of museum space; and coordinate with the museum and Meta Art Company to investigate and formulate a project with the most advanced technology.
