Taiwan Ministry of Culture Offers Subsidies for XR Creations

The Ministry of Culture yesterday announced a subsidy program to encourage extended-reality (XR) creations inspired by Taiwanese cultural elements.
 
Applications for the program are to open on Monday next week until March 1, the ministry said.
 
The program is part of the Cultural Kuroshio Current plan to promote Taiwanese art, publishing, cultural creativity, audiovisual works, cultural technology and cultural diplomacy, it said.
 
The aim of the program is to encourage the integration of technology and local cultural elements to produce innovative XR creations that have the potential to spread to the world, it said.
 
While Taiwan boasts a technology industry that serves as a “sacred mountain protecting the country,” hopefully Taiwanese culture would become “the Kuroshio Current that brings warmth to the world,” Minister of Culture Shih Che (史哲) said.
