Research on design of virtual museum of submerged traditional architectures in Three Gorges Reservoir Area

The construction of Three Gorges Project has made some of cultural relics under state or province protection inundated; therefore, it is of great necessity to do document research on those submerged traditional architectures and to build a sharing database of resources and a virtual restoration. However, the construction of the virtual museum for those submerged traditional architectures in Three Gorges Reservoir Area is still at the initial stage. In order to further the development of the research, this paper provides development procedure of Unity3D and approaches to technical realization of the virtual museum, aiming at building a resource platform clearly clarified and easily retrieved for the study and establishment of the virtual museum. It is believed that this job will play a significant role in protecting human cultural heritage and accelerating the progress of cultural undertakings.
