Abstract

This study explores the integration of interactive media design and cultural subjectivity narratives in the context of intelligent technologies. By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and virtual reality(VR), the research constructs a real-time, adaptive narrative system that enhances user immersion, emotional engagement, and cultural identity. Through a non-linear narrative model and AI-driven content customization, users actively participate in story development, transitioning from passive observers to co-creators. The system is evaluated through mixed-methods research, including questionnaires, behavioral observation, and expert reviews. Results demonstrate significant improvements in cultural resonance, user experience, and narrative effectiveness. This research offers both theoretical insights and practical frameworks for applying interactive media to cultural heritage dissemination and experience innovation in the era of AI.
