Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Exploring the current practices and challenges of the smart transformation of intangible cultural heritage museums empowered by digital intelligence helps clarify the realistic pathways and overall blueprint for their smart transformation in the digital intelligence era. [Method/Process] This study employs network research and case analysis methods to summarize the practical conditions and real-world challenges of the smart transformation of intangible cultural heritage museums. It further examines the necessity of this transformation, elucidates the internal logic underpinning the smart transformation of intangible cultural heritage museums based on information ecology theory, and proposes specific transformation pathways. [Result/Conclusion] Based on the analysis of the current status and theoretical reflections, this study proposes that the smart transformation of intangible cultural heritage museums empowered by digital intelligence should center on five core elements: resources, users, staff, space, and technology. By implementing the smart interconnection of resources, personalized immersive experiences for users, digital intelligent empowerment for staff, intelligent collaborative interaction within spaces, and the ecological empowerment of technology, the smart transformation of intangible cultural heritage museums can be systematically advanced.
