10 Nguyen Dynasty antiques identified and exhibited in digital space

Accordingly, the artifacts are equipped with NFC chips and uniquely identified using Phygital Labs’ Nomion technology. From here, visitors can use their smartphones to interact with the Nomion NFC chip attached to the artifacts, opening up multi-dimensional interactions with all historical information, origin, cultural significance, 3D images, etc. of the artifacts.

Unlike QR codes currently used to store information, the Nomion NFC chip attached to the relic has the ability to encrypt data, is highly secure and anti-counterfeit, ensuring uniqueness and parallel connection between the physical version and the digital version. In addition, with blockchain technology, the digital version of the relic carries the value of ownership certification as well as creating digital assets from real assets such as relics.

The antiques selected for identification are typical antiques of the Nguyen Dynasty kings and mandarins such as: throne, palanquin, shoes (royal utensils used in daily life and ceremonies), gold branches and jade leaves (used for interior decoration), or a set of pink tattoos (pastime)...

Director of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center Hoang Viet Trung said that Phygital Labs technology is a bridge to bring preserved and displayed artifacts to the digital world, supporting the work of digitizing, preserving, and promoting the value of artifacts in particular and the heritage of the Nguyen Dynasty and Hue culture in general.

With the goal of strongly promoting Vietnamese culture globally and exploiting the digital economic potential of heritage, Phygital Labs technology has built the first digital cultural exhibition space on the metaverse at: museehue.vn.

Accordingly, the digitally identified artifacts will be simultaneously displayed in digital space for users to visit, admire the full 360-degree image of the item, and experience the fascinating historical story in a realistic historical and cultural space.

In the coming time, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center and its partners will aim to provide metaverse museum tours, promoting Vietnam through its heritage to global visitors, especially the more than 20 million people who own devices such as Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest glasses in the world.

The Hue Monuments Conservation Center will also continue to compile content such as scanning and taking pictures of artifacts, aiming at digital museums according to each topic and each time, helping global visitors to be able to view and learn information with vivid layout, color, and sound, similar to visiting a real museum or exhibition.
