A Case Study on the Enhancement of Extended Reality Technology in Digital Stage Production for Chinese Traditional Poetry-Inspired Dance Arts

The integration of digital stage technology into traditional cultural and historical poetry dance arts not only generates novel cultural communication effects but also enhances cultural inheritance and social identity, while promoting global cultural dissemination. This study presents a case study on the enhancement and user experience evaluation of Extended Reality (XR) technology in the context of digital stage applications, focusing on the convergence of digital stage technology and emerging forms of traditional cultural aesthetics through experimental arts education. It further explores the communicative significance and social value of integrating XR technology with classical poetry, particularly the works of Du Fu, a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty in China. Additionally, the study assesses the willingness of student audiences to accept the integration of XR and traditional poetry-inspired dance arts through immersive experience evaluations. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The sample population consists of second- and third-year arts students from the School of Arts at a Henan University, China, to evaluate their receptiveness to artistic design reforms incorporating XR digital technologies and to provide insights for future market applications. Research findings indicate that the application of digital technologies, such as clone mirror and motion capture systems, in the presentation and teaching of traditional Chinese poetry-based dance arts not only enhances audience engagement and achieves a more effective synthesis between XR technological modes and vivid cultural heritage transmission methods, but also contributes significantly to the effectiveness of market development and international communication of intangible cultural heritage.
