Cultural Identity Through 3D Modeling: Learning National Architecture Heritage Based on Hologram Technology

In the age of rapid technological development and shifting our lives gradually to virtual environment the lack in contact with real world becomes noticeable. In this regards more people, and particularly young generation, note some doubts in sense of belonging to the local culture, including nationality, ethnicity, religion and other. Cultural identity stated as valuable issue for the educators. While the arts is the effective instrument to harmonized a person with the world, the architecture as an object in close attachment to the local context including culture and traditions can be a mean for support national identity. In these frameworks the technology of 3D hologram was chosen for improvement students’ awareness in the architecture surrounded them in order to strengthen their belonging to it. Following that the main object of the study was determined: Does the studying of national architectural heritage by the means of 3D hologram will promote students’ sense of cultural identity? The research took place at Kazan Federal University in the student bachelor group of 22 persons. Data were collected from one academic semester from February 9 to May 31, 2023. The methodology was based on the mixed methods approach by using average rating and feedback. During the process students had been studying historical objects by theoretical materials and hologram fan through the 3D modeling. The obtained results proved the effectiveness of the project and using hologram as perspective pedagogical technology.
