An initiative to explore new ways of teaching using 8K content that allows users to view national treasures and important cultural properties in ultra-high-definition and high-quality images was held on the 4th by connecting four universities in Tokyo, Osaka, and other cities.
Four universities in Tokyo, Miyagi, and Osaka, including Gakushuin University, participated in this initiative and held a joint class using NHK's "4K Cultural Properties," which digitally reproduces national treasures and important cultural properties using advanced technology.
In this content, you can freely turn and greatly enlarge valuable cultural assets such as the national treasure "Baekje Guanyin".
In addition, by utilizing the latest streaming technology, you can instantly share your actions from multiple locations, and you can watch them in the same orientation and size at the same time.
Due to the large amount of information in this content, it could only be operated under limited conditions, such as the need for a PC with high processing power on the receiving side, but this system is expected to solve such problems and be used for new classes such as sharing high-resolution images at multiple universities, including overseas.
A student who participated at Gakushuin University said, "I was surprised to be able to see it with a higher resolution than I had heard."
Professor Mai Sarai of Gakushuin University said, "I would like to work on the possibility of making it possible to teach classes to students studying Japan art overseas."
