The virtual wandering system of Han Chang'an city based on information recommendation

ABSTRACT

The ancient site of Han Chang'an City is one of the most valuable and significant cultural heritages in China and attracts more and more attentions around the world. In this paper, a virtual wandering system of the Han Chang'an City is proposed, combined with information recommendation technology in the system. First, Unity3D is selected as the three-dimensional platform to design the scenario model of Han Chang' an City, according to real history materials; then, the collaborative filtering recommendation method is introduced to recommend hot topic information and personalized information according to customers interests and to help customers reach their wanted information quickly. Our proposed system is published online now, and users can wander in the scene with a Unity web player plugin at any time with the system.
