Abstract

Dunhuang frescoes carry the essence of millennia of civilization and are rich in historical and scientific value. In the continuous progress of history, the artistic styles of different eras have merged, and finally formed the very charming Dunhuang musical dance art, which has been widely welcomed. Under the background of the information age, people integrate digital technology with the Dunhuang fresco art of musical dance, which not only improves the preservation time of Dunhuang frescoes, but also allows this art to be presented to people and allows Dunhuang culture to be spread and inherited. The elements in the Dunhuang frescoes in our country are very rich and can be applied to all aspects. Many professionals have gradually realized its importance, and by transforming its creative vehicle, users can deeply understand and further appreciate the Dunhuang musical dance art and learn the knowledge of frescoes while experiencing the product. At the same time, based on the existing frescoes and restoration drawings created by researchers, combined with the special design principles of the product, a visual interface with a sense of structural hierarchy was designed. The classic Dunhuang fresco musical dance images are sorted out to build a rich material information database. At the same time, the interactive display is divided into different modules according to the research content of Dunhuang fresco musical dance art, and the content of the characteristics of the times, music meaning and dancing image are designed. Finally, Unity3D is used to realize the interactive display design of Dunhuang fresco musical dance art.
