The digital version of Beijing's Central Axis offers users a glimpse of the Axis that is typically not visible to the eye. It accurately reproduces the 7.8-kilometer-long core heritage zone of the Central Axis by adopting gaming technologies such as high-definition photo scanning, game engines, cloud gaming and a four-level map model to create a super-large map of 200 kilometers by 200 kilometers for the first time. In addition, it integrates interactive game design such as puzzle-solving and collection mechanics to bring to life the "three central axes"—the physical, historical and conceptual axes—within a digital exhibition framework.

The "Time-Space Capsule" produced by the "Digital Central Axis" project team is one of the key sections of the "Digital Central Axis." It reproduces the historical evolution of Beijing Central Axis in 4D time and space, showing the continuation and changes of this over the past 700 years. The goal is to explore a new approach using gaming technology—to invigorate and carry forward cultural heritage and elucidate its value.
