Abstract
The Silk Road, spanning thousands of years, possesses splendid civilization relics. However, with the disappearance of historical records, there is a certain lack of public awareness of the Silk Road culture. Silk Road Journey is an AI interactive installation based on six significant cities along the Silk Road, allowing the audiences travel through different eras, and pose with the scenes through physical interaction to generate unique commemorative images. We apply AIGC technology to the design of the interactive art installation related to cultural heritage. We employ a variety of strategies to improve the efficiency and quality of gesture-controlled image generation, aiming to improve the immersion of the interaction and achieve real-time interaction effects. This innovative way of combining new technology, interactive experience and world cultural heritage improves the public's cultural awareness of the Silk Road, which also seeks out a new mode of experience and dissemination for cultural heritage preservation.
