Week 2 Research

This week, we focused on refining our project goals and aligning them with the cultural and educational aims of Echoes to better prepare for the Quarters presentation:

  • Project Vision:
    • Introduce historically based music as a way to teach and spark interest in Chinese music and culture.
    • Aim to engage children and promote cultural learning while showcasing Nanzhao Fengsheng Music.
  • Core Design Elements:
    • Combine story, puzzles, and art to build an immersive experience using Unreal Engine.
    • Unreal was chosen for its industry-standard capabilities.
  • Audience and Experts: While not directly working with specific experts, we are creating a research and resource list to support our project’s authenticity.
