Models For Implementation Of Augmented And Virtual Reality Technologies In Folklore Dancing Halls

The report presents the results of a scientific study on how to increase the effectiveness of folk dance training and to preserve and popularize the Bulgarian folklore heritage using modern digital technologies. Two models have been developed for the implementation of augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) technologies in the folk dance training process and heritage preservation. The main hypothesis is that the way to increase the effectiveness of training and to preserve and popularize the Bulgarian folklore heritage, especially among young people, is through the implementation of modern technologies. This increases the motivation of the learners many times over. Popular 3D systems and the degree of applicability of each to the intended training and conservation scenarios are analyzed. On the one hand, a comparative analysis of the equipment for creating virtual learning materials is made, and on the other hand, the installation for the execution of the already created virtual fragments is depicted with a higher priority. The considered models are estimated according to the dimensions of an average dance hall in Bulgaria. Unlike other similar studies, this article does not focus on self-learning dance, but on teacher-assisted practice in a group format, which has been identified as more suitable for this art.
