Virtual Reality (VR) technology enables us to digitally recreate immersive and interactive cultural heritage sites that no longer exist or are inaccessible. It is an excellent educational tool providing for a "hands-on" application suitable for a wide range of audiences. Here we present the development and implementation of the virtual heritage application with early results and future work and specifically focus on the two interaction techniques -- the Virtual Tour Guide and the Chinese calligraphy brush.enVirtual reality (VR)Virtual heritage006Novel interaction techniques for virtual heritage applications using chinese calligraphy brush and virtual avatarconference paper
