유구한 역사와 깊은 문화적 바탕과 중요한 연구가치가 있는 무형문화유산은 기나긴 인류역사 발전의 흐름을 같이 해왔으며 현재까지 계승되어왔다. 무형문화유산의 가장 큰 특징인 무형성은 구체적 형태에 의존하지 않고 사람들의 문화생활과 연관된 동태적 계승의 속성이기 때문에 한 나라의 전통문화의 다양성을 대표하는 문화 유전자라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 현대화의 빠른 발전에 따라 무형문화유산은 보존 위협에 직면하고 있다. 현대사회에서 사람들의 생산방식과 생활방식이 끊임없이 변화함에 따라 무형문화유산이 생존하던 원래의 생태공간을 유지하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 심지어 어떤 무형문화유산은 아예 사라져버려 유형문화유산보다 보존에 있어 더 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다.
인터넷의 발전으로 인한 경제와 정보의 글로벌화로 세계 각국은 문화발전 전략에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 최근 여러 국가에서는 전통문화의 다양성, 특히 무형문화유산을 보호하기 위한 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있는데 그 중 디지털 기술을 이용하여 무형문화유산을 보호하는데 중점을 두고 있다.
본 연구는 무형문화유산 중 하나인 염색기술 보존을 위하여 혼합현실기술을 활용하여 염색 기술의 교육과 전시에 대해 분석하고 탐구하여 과학기술과 문화의 상호 작용의 지속가능한 발전에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 혼합현실(Mixed Reality) 기술은 가상세계와 현실세계 그리고 사용자 사이에 일종의 상호작용관계를 구축하여 가상세계와 현실 상호작용의 혼합세계를 형성하여 사람들에게 직접 해당 환경에서의 체험감을 가져다주는 기술이다. 본 연구는 혼합현실 기술의 기본 원리와 무형문화유산 기초 이론지식을 결합하여 기존의 무형문화유산의 물질매개체에 문화 디지털화를 적용하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 무형문화유산의 디지털화 보호 현황을 분석하고 무형문화유산의 디지털화에 대한 문제점을 살펴보고 혼합현실 기술을 기반으로 한 무형문화유산의 보존을 위한 이론적 프레임워크를 구축하였다. 나아가 이론적 프레임워크를 바탕으로 무형문화유산 디지털화 실천을 위한 혼합현실문화 디지털화 시스템 원형을 설계하여 문화 디지털화를 구축하는 이론기초, 구축과정 및 혼합현실 문화 디지털화 시스템의 원형에 대한 연구와 설계를 중점적으로 탐구하였다. 또한 모바일 지능단말기 응용플랫폼과 결합하여 시스템 프로토타입 응용설계와 실현 등을 진행하였는데 이는 혼합현실 기술을 기반으로 한 무형문화유산 보존의 이론방법과 실천을 모색하기 위해서이다.
무형성은 무형문화유산의 중요한 속성의 하나로서 보이지 않고 만지지 못하며 체험할 수 없는 무형문화의 구체화, 시각화를 통해 무형문화유산이 더욱 효과적으로 해석, 전시, 교육, 전파되는 것이 무형문화유산 보존과 보급에 있어 중요하다.

본 연구에서 진행한 문화디지털화를 적용한 무형문화유산 개발의 이론적 프레임워크와 혼합현실문화 디지털 적용 시스템의 원형은 최신의 현대과학 기술 수단을 통합하고 이를 적용하여 무형문화유산을 디지털화를 통해 보존하는 혁신적인 방법이다. 이는 무형문화유산의 디지털화 연구와 실천 분야에서 혁신성을 지니고 있으며 문화와 과학기술의 융합상호 발전을 촉진하는데 이론적 기초뿐만 아니라 문화창의산업, 애니메이션산업, 문화관광산업의 융합발전을 실현하는데 이론과 실습 분야의 기초연구로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

With long history, profound cultural impact and important research value, intangible cultural heritage accumulates a lot of precious, abundant and splendid tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage, such as traditional performing arts, craft skills, knowledge systems and practices and so on. Since its biggest feature is "intangible ", it does not depend on the existence of a concrete material form. Intangible cultural heritage is an extremely important form of cultural heritage. It is the diverse cultural gene to represent the national characteristics of a country. However, with the rapid development of modernization, including the continuous acceleration of urban and rural integration, the living environment of intangible cultural heritage is facing serious threats. On the one hand, with the continuous changes in people’s production methods and lifestyles in modern society, the original environment where the intangible cultural heritage relied on for survival was difficult to maintain. what’s worse, some have even been severely damaged, some of which no longer exist, which means intangible cultural heritage facing a more severe survival situation than the situation of the tangible cultural heritage. Nowadays with rapid development of the Internet, economic globalization and information globalization, the revitalization of cultural development strategies, the cultural products from all over the world are developing and spreading rapidly. In recent years, the protection of the diversity of traditional culture, especially intangible cultural heritage, has draw all the attention from governments and many academic fields in different countries. And they also attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. At the same time, a series of protections, exhibitions, and innovative research and practical work on intangible cultural heritage will be carried out with digital methods. With the background of the digital information era, using the traditional technique of dyeing as an example, researching at the combination of the digital display and educational application, this essay will analyze the combination of this technique and education and presentation. Meanwhile, the positive interaction between technology and culture and sustainable development will be researched as well. Protection consists of emergency rescue protection and developing protection.In the current difficult environment, how to effectively protect the intangible cultural heritage and develop it properly is more important and valuable, It is a question worthy of deep consideration by experts and scholars in relevant fields in all countries.
Mixed reality technology is a research hotspot in the field of computer graphics development in recent years. The exploration of this technology originated in the 1970s -1980s, designed and proposed by Steve Mann, a professor at the University of Toronto. So far, it is at the forefront of the computer simulation technology. With the human-computer interaction technology, during the fusion process of the real world and the computer-generated virtual world, it creates the coexistence of the physical objects and the digital objects, which means it can build interactive relation among actual world, virtual world and the users. In a mixed world of virtual and real interactions, not only does it give people a sense of immersive experience, but it also achieves a feeling that it is difficult to distinguish virtual world from actual world. Compared with virtual reality and augmented reality, MR(mixed reality) is the further extension and development. Although it has a very close relationship and many similarities with those techniques, it also shows many characteristics that are different from them. With the development of computer science and technology, research on technology has also shifted from military and aviation, to education, entertainment, culture, tourism and many other fields.
This essay combines the basic principles of mixed reality technology with the basic theoretical knowledge of intangible cultural heritage. It proposes a developing model for implementing digital culture in the current intangible cultural heritage material media carrier. It conducts exploratory research on digital concurrent protection based on mixed reality technology. This study starts from the current situation of digital protection of intangible cultural heritage. The main problems and shortcomings for the development and applications of the digital intangible cultural heritage have been pointed out in this article. It constructed a theoretical framework of the development model of intangible cultural heritage based on the digital implantation of culture.

Focused on exploring the theoretical basis and construction process of constructing the cultural digital implantation and development model, as well as the research and design of the mixed reality cultural digital loading system prototype. It combined with the mobile intelligent terminal application platform, the design and implementation of system prototype application examples were carried out. It is mainly to explore a theoretical method and practical operation ideas of developmental protection based on mixed reality technology. "Intangible" is one of the important attributes of intangible cultural heritage. A suitable form of carrier to make this "invisible, untouchable, incapable of feeling and experiencing" intangible culture becoming shaped, visible, in a real existence environment is being looked for, so that it can be effectively interpreted, displayed, educated and disseminated. It is one of the important tasks for the protection, development and utilization of intangible cultural heritage. The ideas and strategies based on the development and utilization of mixed reality technology are being researched in this essay. It is a kind of adding intangible cultural heritage and cultural content to the existing material media carrier in digital form. Forming a virtual and real fusion effect is an interactive cultural experience. It is helpful to promote the digital interpretation, digital display and digital communication of intangible cultural heritage.
