Project Group 2: Virtual Tai Chi

Group 2 investigated traditional Tai Chi practices in Hong Kong. Applying an innovative approach, they partnered with the technology specialists of the HKU library to use motion capture hardware to record the moves of Tai Chi experts. This provides a new way for the cultural heritage preservation of intangible heritage. The long-term goal of the project would be to create a VR experience that could help teach Tai Chi and support practice. The younger generations of this team had a special opportunity to experience Tai Chi while our senior partners played with VR for the first time.
