Storied Blue House transports visitors into the living memories of Hong Kong’s iconic Blue House heritage site. This immersive installation merges panoramic photography with generative AI to visualize not only the personal narratives of longtime residents, but also new interpretations offered by today’s visitors. Developed through collaborative storytelling workshops, the exhibition surfaces stories of vibrant street life, neighborhood rituals, and local figures like kung fu masters to a legendary street cat. Visitors don’t just observe; they actively participate by contributing prompts and reflections that generate real-time visual interpretations within the 360° environment.

Created by Dr. Marty Miller (City University of Hong Kong) with direction from Professors Jeffrey Shaw and Richard William Allen, the project explores how intangible cultural heritage can be visualized, reimagined, and re-shared across generations. It asks a crucial question for the AI era: How can we remember what was never photographed?
