A review of the development and application of generative technology in digital museums
Digital museums replicate and preserve cultural relics in digital form, protecting them from natural disasters and human damage while supporting future research. With advances in interactive generative technology, the digital display and reconstruction of artifacts have greatly improved. This paper reviews progress in AI-generated content, including text-to-image, 3D modeling, and large-scale scene generation. It further explores future applications of generative technologies in innovative cultural heritage display.
