Bureau of Cultural Affairs, Taoyuan City Government
The City Government of Taoyuan has committed itself to preserve the culture of old military villages for veterans for almost 30 years. Matsu New Village was listed as a historical site in 2004. The City Government conducted renovation and re-use to convert it into a cultural creativity park. The use of both hardware and software helps establish the “Taoyuan Arts Cinema”. Business operators in the cultural creativity industry also take residency at the park to organize cultural exhibitions, movie festivals, old military villages festivals and other arts and cultural activities. The efforts preserve the local culture and cultivate the content of the cultural creativity park. In order to provide tourists with user-friendly visiting information and improve the quality of guided tours, the “Taoyuan Military Village Smart Tour System” built uses the cultural creativity park as the main theme and incorporates the use of AR and VR to connect the local stories to the exhibition space, bringing interactive experience that has stories, content and is part of the daily life.

"Re-creation of Historical Scenes" is an important policy promoted by the government for various cultural sites. Historical and cultural memory is reorganized in various cultural spaces to demonstrate characters and stories back in the day in front of the contemporary people, establishing connections between buildings, culture and arts back in the day and the present time. Matsu New Village might not be what it used to be. The use of AR technology can reproduce its history and stories in front of visitors. The exhibition uses the village's physical objects as media, and the App can search and scan particular objects to replay stories about the locals and people back in the day in the current space. Different storylines guide users to explore and discover and solve puzzles to get a more realistic and nostalgic experience.
