This study focuses on the historical presentation of Limehouse Chinatown in London and explores the potential of multisensory narratives in enhancing historical understanding and emotional resonance. By comprehensively using methods such as fieldwork, interviews, and observations to collect data, rich historical materials and diverse perspectives are obtained, revealing the complexity and contradiction of the historical image of this area. Based on the data collection and analysis, the project "Truthscape" enables the audience to participate in the construction of history and immerse themselves into the complex diversity of history through means such as the combination of animation and live-action video, dual narrative, and interactive information selection. The evaluation results show that the sensory interaction has a significant effect in enhancing the audience's historical awareness and emotional resonance. However, problems such as the limitation of content coverage and the lack of diversity of participants still exist and need to be improved in the future. In conclusion, the project demonstrates the efficacy and limitations of multisensory narratives, providing contributions to the fields of history and art display and proving the potential of multisensory narratives to connect the audience at the emotional and cognitive levels with the history of Limehouse Chinatown.
