The "Digital Puppetry: The Integration of Art and Technology" project not only revolutionizes puppetry but also holds great potential for inspiring future educational possibilities. By combining traditional Chinese puppetry with advanced technologies, this project introduces a new form of puppet viewing and performance experience that can transform education. The integration of digital technology in puppetry design and performance allows for innovation and experimentation. Artists can explore new techniques, materials, and narratives, pushing the boundaries of traditional puppetry. This fusion of tradition and modernity breathes new life into cultural heritage, making it relevant and captivating for contemporary audiences. In an educational context, this innovative approach can inspire educators to think creatively and engage students in a more immersive and enjoyable learning process. The use of interactive digital art imaging tools and real-time interaction between puppets and computer-generated art images creates a unique visual art performance. This technology empowers performers to create stunning and memorable experiences that captivate audiences of all ages. In education, this can spark curiosity and ignite students' imagination, making learning more engaging and impactful. Furthermore, the integration of digital technology in puppetry design and performance opens up opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning. Students can explore the intersection of art, design, and technology, gaining a deeper understanding of these interconnected fields. The project also emphasizes the preservation and reinterpretation of cultural heritage, providing a rich historical and cultural context for students to explore and appreciate.
