Xi’an drum music is a precious form of traditional Chinese music and is also listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. It is rooted in the ancient court music of the Tang Dynasty, known as the “Chinese Ancient Symphony”. However, due to social and cultural changes, this heritage faces challenges such as difficulty in understanding and dissemination, requiring innovative design methods to strengthen its protection and development. This study combines the historical background and cultural essence of Xi’an drum music with the theoretical framework of cultural translation, integrating traditional elements into contemporary design contexts. Visual design focuses on illustrations inspired by Tangxi market architecture and drum performances, emphasizing regional cultural identity. These designs extend to cultural and creative product packaging, exploring ways to integrate intangible cultural heritage into modern life. In terms of technology, this study proposes a design framework that combines AR technology, aiming to achieve interactive expression between augmented reality (AR) and generative adversarial networks (GAN) of traditional culture through technological innovation. In terms of interaction methods, the Unity3D engine and Vuforia SDK are used to develop AR applications, and gesture recognition and dynamic sound and image synchronization technology are introduced to enable users to trigger drum music performance scenes through gesture operations, forming an immersive interactive experience.
