Exploration of AI and AR Technologies in the Character Design of "Dream of the Red Chamber"

Abstract

This study explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR)
technologies in recreating the character of Wang Xifeng, a core figure in the Chinese classical
literary masterpiece "Dream of the Red Mansions". By integrating two advanced tools, Midjourney
and Kivicube, the study successfully created and displayed a digital virtual avatar of Wang Xifeng.
The research employed qualitative research methods, including content analysis, experimental
research, and a questionnaire survey. The feedback results showed that most participants were
satisfied with the reshaped image of Wang Xifeng using AI and AR technologies. This study not
only opens up new avenues for the modern interpretation of traditional literary characters but also
provides valuable experience and theoretical support for the inheritance and innovative practice of
traditional culture.
