Research on the Utilization of Cloud Anchors in 5G Mobile Networks for Interactive Augmented Reality Display and Sculptural Art

In recent years, Augmented Reality (AR) technology has seen widespread adoption in museum art displays, progressing from AR markers to AR SLAM, and now to the emerging trend of AR Cloud Anchor with the advent of 5G mobile networks. AR Cloud Anchor, a crucial component of this third generation of AR, allows for the synchronized display of AR virtual objects by sharing anchors in the cloud, offering innovative possibilities beyond traditional standalone AR experiences. Despite its potential, there are limited cases of AR Cloud Anchor implementation in art exhibitions. This research focuses on the technical application of AR Cloud Anchor in art exhibitions, specifically utilizing sculptures as the medium. The study's design encompasses four main aspects: the process of 3D scanning for sculptures, defining AR anchors for the sculpture medium, creator experience design, and user interaction design. The research aims to provide insights into the technical implementation of AR Cloud Anchor, offering valuable information on data storage, the artistic impact of augmented sculptures, and user preferences for AR applications extended by Cloud Anchor technology. Preliminary conclusions suggest that AR Cloud Anchor technology brings significant innovation to art exhibitions, enhancing audience engagement and making exhibitions more attractive and participatory. Additionally, there is a correlation between users' AR technology experiences and their perceptions of app usability and AR technology's impact on art exhibitions, highlighting the importance of user education and experience in promoting AR technology. Users also express interest in the intervention of virtual sculptures in public spaces, indicating substantial potential for AR technology in enriching artistic experiences.
