Taoyuan City Government's Youth Affairs Bureau is using VR and AR games to introduce young people and residents to the city's history and local culture. Its “RE: Taoyuan, Log Back into the Local!” exhibition runs at the Andong Youth Startup Base from 12 October to 11 December 2026, according to a 13 October report by Dot Media carried on Yam News.
The exhibition brings together three interactive experiences:
- Yuan Ze University's Department of Art and Design team, led by teacher 羅嘉惠, created 《溪遊記：大溪歷史街屋虛擬解謎—蘭室篇》, a VR puzzle game set in the historic Lan Room street house on Daxi Old Street. Visitors explore Daxi's history through virtual puzzles.
- 聚樂邦 (致樂創意股份有限公司) provides 《嵿嵿大百貨》, an AR game that presents local issues through interaction.
- 發霸科技股份有限公司 provides 《籃中食光》, an AR game in which visitors draw Taoyuan-themed images and participate in real-time interaction.
The bureau describes the exhibition as a way to make emerging technology more accessible and to support cultural preservation and local revitalization. Schools, groups and residents are invited to book visits and explore Taoyuan through the games.
