The Old Summer Palace project 圆明园项目

The Old Summer Palace (also known as Yuán Míng Yuán and Garden of Gardens) is an important, yet vast historic site in Northern Beijing. The Old Summer Palace was the main imperial residence of Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty and his successors.

圆明园（又称“万园之园”）位于北京的北部，是一处重要且广阔的历史建筑。从乾隆皇帝开始，圆明园就一直作为皇帝的主要居所。

Covered an area of 350 hectares, the Old Summer Palace was known for its extensive collection of gardens, its building architecture and numerous art and historical treasures.

圆明园占地 350 公顷，以其丰富的园林、建筑和众多艺术和历史珍品而闻名。

Through capturing essence of heritage environment and investigating history and collections, we plan to develop an immersive virtual experience of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing with a multiplicity of software and digitisation technology.

通过捕捉遗址环境的本质，调查其历史以及收藏，我们计划通过数种软件和数字化技术开发专属于北京圆明园的沉浸式虚拟体验。
