About
Yuchen Shen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital heritage, human-computer interaction, and mixed reality. Their work focuses on revitalizing endangered intangible cultural heritage through immersive technologies, with a particular emphasis on traditional performing arts. Shen’s most notable contribution is the groundbreaking project "Out of Theater: Interactive Mixed-reality Performance for Intangible Culture Heritage Glove Puppetry" (2022), which reimagines ancient glove puppetry for contemporary audiences. By integrating mixed-reality systems with live performance, Shen creates interactive experiences that bridge historical traditions and modern digital engagement—directly addressing the critical problem of dwindling audience interest in traditional puppetry. This work has garnered 4 citations and represents a novel methodology for cultural preservation that moves beyond static documentation toward dynamic, participatory heritage experiences. Shen’s research demonstrates how emerging technologies can serve as powerful tools for cultural sustainability, offering a replicable framework for safeguarding other endangered performance arts. Their innovative approach positions them as a leading voice in the emerging field of interactive digital heritage, where technology becomes not just a preservation tool but a medium for cultural rebirth.
