The Dôkun Miton application, designed as a digital extension of the board game of the same name, is part of an approach aimed at promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Benin. The Dôkun Miton card game focuses on highlighting the royal treasures of Benin, symbols of the country's history and culture. This application offers an enriched experience, combining technology and tradition, allowing users to explore these treasures in a more interactive and immersive way. Thanks to this digital extension, the world of Dôkun Miton opens up to a wider audience while making the experience more complete and engaging.
In-depth access to royal treasures:
One of the key aspects of the app is its ability to offer a more detailed description of Benin's royal treasures. Each treasure represented in the board game is an artifact that testifies to the glorious past of the Beninese kingdoms. These treasures are not only historical objects, but they are also the guardians of the memory and traditions that have marked the development of the country.
An immersive 3D visualization of the treasures:
One of the most attractive features of this application is the ability to view royal treasures in 3D. By integrating three-dimensional models of each treasure, users can interact with these objects like never before. They can rotate the treasures to observe minute details, and better understand the artisanal techniques used to create them. This immersion offers a new perspective that is not always possible during a physical exhibition or even in the physical version of the card game.
This 3D functionality also makes it possible to reach a younger or tech-savvy audience who might be more receptive to this type of interaction. Indeed, in an era where video games and digital experiences often dominate entertainment, providing interactive access to the history and culture of Benin via these modern technologies helps make the subject more engaging and relevant for new generations .
Integration of augmented reality:
Beyond simple 3D visualization, the application goes further by using augmented reality (AR) technology. Thanks to this functionality, users can not only see the treasures on their screen, but also project them into their real environment by scanning QR codes linked to each work.
A guide to the cards and rules of the game:
In addition to its educational and immersive features, the Dôkun Miton application also serves as a comprehensive guide for board game players. One of the key sections of the application is dedicated to presenting the different types of cards that make up the game.
In addition, the application includes a clear explanation of the rules of the game. Players can follow step by step the progress of a game of Dôkun Miton, from the distribution of cards until the end of the game. This functionality is particularly useful for new players who want to learn how to play quickly, without having to delve into the rulebook. In addition, for experienced players, it serves as a practical reminder of the rules, thus avoiding any confusion or misinterpretation during a game.
A fusion of tradition and modernity:
The Dôkun Miton application thus succeeds in combining tradition and modernity. By combining the cultural elements of Benin with innovative technologies such as 3D and augmented reality, it creates a bridge between the past and the present, between the tangible and the digital. This not only preserves and promotes cultural heritage, but also offers a new way of interacting with it.
