A three dimensional Forbidden City is now open in a virtual world. People can get a glimpse of the imperial palace and experience the lives of ancient emperors without having to be there. And the interactive platform allows online tourists to take on an ancient identity.
 
The 3-D re-creation offers an immersive, interactive, and populated space that corresponds architecturally and historically to the vast grounds of the current Palace Museum. And this participatory environment stresses the importance of a space alive with the people.
