Times have changed with the urban industrial structure adjustment, a large number of meritorious industrial buildings out of the historical stage, industrial buildings as a materialized industrial civilization, its long history and cultural connotations, but have become a valuable asset of the city. Its unique historical and cultural value, artistic value and social value began to attract the attention of cultural heritage protection workers. Modern industrial buildings thus have a new identity - industrial heritage [1]. Compared with thousands of years of human civilization, although industrial heritage has only a few hundred years of life, industrial heritage, as a witness to the development of modern human society, is a symbol of people’s memory of industrial civilization. At the present stage, China is in a period of rapid development. The phenomenon of urban demolition and construction is common, so a large number of industrial heritage has been abandoned or destroyed, and much industrial heritage has faded in the rolling wheel of history. The protection and reuse of industrial heritage have been on the verge of [2-3]. In order to avoid the recurrence of the same problem, scholars and experts have put forward strategies for the protection and transformation of industrial heritage and put them into practice, resulting in many actual cases of industrial heritage protection and utilization. However, with the rapid development of national science and technology and economic strength, facing the dilemma brought to urban development by a series of problems generated by industrial heritage, the traditional industrial heritage protection strategy can no longer meet the needs of urban development [4-5]. More shifts to focus on human sensory feelings, more accessibility to people, and more breakthroughs in time and geographical limitations have become the new demands of people. Digitalization has become a new trend in industrial heritage protection and display, the continuous updating and iteration of digital technology, so that the form of industrial heritage protection and display is constantly enriched and can attract a large number of people to re-understand and recognize the history through industrial heritage [6-8].
As an important carrier of urban history and culture, the transformation and reuse of industrial heritage has become a key way to promote sustainable urban development. Literature [9] proposes a multi-criteria decision aid method to rank the adaptive reuse strategies of abandoned industrial heritage in fragile environments. It analyzes nine different abandoned buildings in an industrial valley in Northwest Italy as an example to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The study provides a reference value for the preservation of the history and heritage significance of industrial sites. Literature [10] takes urban transformation and ecological restoration as an entry point, takes Nanjing Jinling Shipyard as an example, explores the problems between industrial heritage protection and cultural heritage renewal in terms of ecological restoration, cultural remodeling and functional renovation, and puts forward relevant suggestions to realize the maximum protection, renewal and cultural remodeling of industrial heritage sites. Literature [11] illustrates the subtle dynamic relationship between market forces and state intervention through three case studies: the Guangzhou Asian Games, the Shanghai World Expo and the Beijing Winter Olympics, and reveals that the government-led approach to industrial heritage handling in large-scale events is capital accumulation, urban regeneration, and heritage protection. It can enable governments to allocate significant resources to the preservation and reuse of industrial heritage. Literature [12] presents a proposal to connect the ancient Viminacium and the modern Kostolac into a cultural landscape, aiming to link industrial progress, heritage preservation and modern tourism, creating a new approach to the preservation and presentation of its archaeological and industrial heritage. Literature [13] takes Shougang High-end Industrial Comprehensive Service Area North as an actual case study, and with the support of the scene theory of the New Chicago School represented by Terry Clark, it examines the preservation and utilization of industrial monuments from different perspectives and creates different scene elements and frameworks, which provide theoretical references and ideas for the future related research. Literature [14] takes the two cities of Nantes and Saint-Ouen, France, as research objects to examine the effect of industrial heritage protection in the context of sustainable urban planning policies, and the results indicate that the adoption of sustainable urban planning models combined with modern economic policies not only preserves the industrial heritage of the industrial cities but also realizes the urban growth objectives of the former industrial cities.
With the development of science and technology, digitization technology is applied in many fields, and it also provides new ideas for the preservation of industrial heritage. Literature [15] points out the reasons for the Chinese people’s lack of appreciation and protection of heritage of industrial modernization (HOIM), establishes a database focusing on HOIM with Shenyang as the object of study, and examines the connection between the opening of facilities and its influencing factors, in order to verify and discuss the effectiveness of the current protection system, and the results of the study provide useful for the construction of the industrial heritage protection system in local cities in China in the future Reference. Literature [16] takes the industrial heritage community of Hanjiang Ecological Economic Zone in Hubei Province as the research object and explores how to develop and build a cloud platform for public participation in industrial heritage protection under the background of a smart city, which provides digital means for industrial heritage protection, and at the same time, provides practical solutions for the public to participate in industrial heritage protection. After comprehensively analyzing the value and current situation of industrial cultural heritage, [17] proposed a global industrial cultural heritage protection and excavation strategy based on big data to provide strong support for the sustainable development of industrial and cultural heritage. Literature [18] takes Zhenjiang, an ancient historical city, as an example, investigates and analyzes the basic types of its industrial and architectural heritage, and puts forward digital protection methods such as heritage information collection, database construction, interactive experience, etc. The study provides a theoretical basis for the research of the digital protection strategy of Zhenjiang’s industrial architectural heritage. Literature [19] puts forward the industrial heritage protection design method based on a nonlinear genetic optimization algorithm and three-dimensional reconstruction. It verifies the validity and feasibility of the method through actual case study, which can not only accurately reflect the spatial morphology and structural characteristics of the industrial heritage but also reveal the value of the industrial heritage. The study provides technical support for the subsequent protection and utilization of the industrial heritage. Literature [20] constructed an industrial heritage protection data model based on virtual reality technology and reconstructed the industrial heritage protection system based on virtual reality technology from four aspects, namely, data support, system support, algorithmic level and storage level on the basis of the model, and verified the validity of the proposed system through the analysis of the actual application, and the research is of great significance to the protection and development of the industrial heritage and cultural heritage.
According to the proposed value evaluation system for industrial heritage in a city, the current situation and problems of protecting and transmitting industrial heritage in a city are analyzed in depth. Based on the research resources on the existing problems of industrial heritage in City A, this paper designs a digital protection platform for industrial heritage and then uses 3D Max and Unity 3D software to realize the functions of PC roaming, architectural drawing display and download, and local folklore and folk customs introduction and display of industrial heritage, etc., and puts both the model data and industrial heritage information in the previous stage into the digital protection platform for display, and develops a GUI platform based on the Unity3D engine GUI platform for browsing. Finally, ANOVA and regression analysis are applied to analyze the use effect of digital protection of industrial heritage proposed in this paper.
This section examines the industrial heritage of City A through empirical research and invites 15 experts in the field of heritage protection to make value judgments regarding its significance.The research results are combined with the evaluation criteria to evaluate the value of industrial heritage. Through meticulous research on industrial heritage, the cultural value and physical value behind it are excavated, the research results are combined with evaluation criteria to assess and score its value, and targeted protection and utilization strategies are carried out according to the scores and positioning. This kind of research, evaluation and protection can not only avoid the big demolition and construction but also reflect the value characteristics of the industrial heritage itself, which has an important role in the research, evaluation, protection and reuse of industrial architectural heritage.
For the industrial heritage of City A, the judgment of value is the basis of protection and reuse, but the judgment standard of value is not static, and the industrial heritage in different areas has different value attributes. At this stage, there is no standardized system for judging the value of industrial architectural heritage, and different regions have developed evaluation standards for their local industrial architectural heritage based on their characteristics. Since City A has not yet formed a value evaluation system with regional characteristics, when analyzing the value of industrial heritage in City A can be analyzed according to the value composition system proposed by many scholars for industrial heritage in different regions. The evaluation system of industrial heritage in City A is extended from two aspects, and the evaluation system and scores of industrial heritage in City A are shown in Table 1. From the table, it can be seen that 80% of experts believe that the cultural communication of industrial cultural heritage in City A is not prominent enough on the social and cultural value scale.

This section focuses on the current challenges in the dissemination and inheritance of industrial heritage culture in City A. A questionnaire survey was used to research 560 people in Area A. The dominant role in the process of dissemination of industrial heritage culture in Area A is played by the mainstream communication led by the government or the mainstream media, whose formulated values and communication paths have a guiding role in the dissemination of social media and self-media channels. Especially governmental organizations have a very important communication responsibility in the process of dissemination and development of industrial heritage culture in Region A, and play a role in coordinating the whole situation. Mainstream media play an important role in the dissemination of local culture. In today’s era of information explosion, mainstream media communication is facing great challenges and opportunities. With the rise of new media and the diversification of information dissemination channels, mainstream communication needs to be constantly innovated and changed to adapt to the needs and changes of the audience. The shortcomings of government communication are shown in Table 2. In the question “Where do you think the government is not doing well”, 20.57% of the respondents chose the option of “advertising on TV and offline booths”, 18.9% chose the option of “capital investment and branding”, and 18.9% chose the option of “branding”. 18.9% of the respondents chose “capital investment and branding”, and 18.74% of the respondents chose online and offline joint communication. The choices of “building thematic museums of industrial heritage culture” and “planning related festivals” were 11.43% and 10.22%, respectively. In addition, 7.23% of the respondents chose “development of social media”, 6.44% chose “development of cultural tourism resources related to industrial heritage”, and 5.65% chose “cultivation of professional talents of industrial heritage”. Cultivation of professional talents. According to the data of this question, it can be seen that the mainstream communication path represented by the government is still not clear enough.

The problems in the dissemination of industrial heritage culture are shown in Table 3. From the table, in the question “What problems do you think exist in the process of dissemination of industrial heritage culture in City A?” 17.35% of the respondents think that the dissemination of industrial heritage culture in City A has failed to form a brand development, and 15.83% of the respondents think that the government does not pay much attention to control the dissemination of industrial heritage culture in City A. The percentage of respondents who think that the dissemination content lacks attraction is 16.25% and 15.3%, and that the dissemination content lacks attraction is 14.02%. 16.25% and 15.3% of the respondents thought that it could not attract young people and public attention, respectively; 14.02% thought that the communication content lacked attraction, and another 8.03% thought that there was a lack of financial support. Among all the options, the proportion of those who thought that the communication content was not attractive enough, the lack of public awareness and the lack of attention from young groups were also higher, and this part of the problem boils down to the communication content itself. It shows that the current content of water margin culture communication in Area A is not attractive enough to the audience, and it is necessary to innovate the communication content, increase the fun, interactivity and experience, and attract the attention and participation of more audiences. It is necessary to innovate communication methods and means to attract young people to participate in the communication of industrial heritage culture according to their needs and characteristics.In the era of information explosion, innovation in communication content is of great significance for the transmission of information and the realization of value.Innovation can enhance the fun, interactivity, and experience of communication, improve the audience’s participation and attention, and thus better achieve communication effects. Secondly, with the development of society and the progress of technology, the needs and tastes of the audience are also changing, and only by constantly innovating communication content can we meet the needs of the audience and win their trust and support. Finally, communication content innovation is also an important part of brand building, which can improve brand awareness and reputation, and increase brand competitiveness. Therefore, one of the key measures to solve all the current problems in communication in Region A is to emphasize the importance of innovation in communication content to meet the changing information needs of the times.

The construction of a digital protection platform for industrial heritage should follow the principles of top-level design, permanent preservation, respect for the current situation, promotion of sharing, structural optimization, and technical compatibility. Top-level design principle: China’s heritage protection project is established under a vertical management system. Therefore, the digital protection platform for industrial heritage should follow the top-down construction principle [21].
Principle of permanent preservation: One of the core functions of the database of non-heritage is to digitally preserve non-heritage resources permanently. The construction of the digital protection platform of industrial heritage should be set up with an archive module, in which the data in the module can generally only be added and cannot be deleted or changed, and the data maintenance and backup work of the module should be fully done to ensure the safety of resource storage.
Principle of respecting the status quo: during the implementation of the construction of the digital protection platform for industrial heritage, the inheritance law of industrial heritage in different places should be strictly respected, and records should be made in accordance with the actual state of inheritance of industrial heritage, so as to put an end to the use of modern photographic art and radio and television art creation means such as posing photographs of characters and excessive post-processing, and to strictly abide by the principle of true records.
Principle of structural optimization: the platform structure must be scalable, and with the development of business, the platform should be able to expand on the basis of the original input.For example, expanding the platform’s functional modules, increasing the number of concurrent users, and cross-platform migration of the platform.
Principle of technical compatibility: From the perspective of multi-level compatibility and sharing of databases, the storage structure, metadata, data format, operating system, etc., should take into account the technical compatibility issue to minimize the difficulty of data integration [22].
The development process of the industrial heritage digital protection platform is shown in Figure 1. Firstly, the system planning is carried out according to the user’s requirements. The historical and cultural information of industrial heritage is collected, the architectural structure information is obtained through 3D laser scanning technology, the 3D architectural model of industrial heritage is reconstructed by applying BIM technology, and the mapping process is carried out through 3D Max software. Finally, it is imported into the Unity system for the development of the digital preservation platform [23]. The user interface of the platform adopts backgrounds and buttons with local characteristics, realizes human-computer interaction in the system by writing C# functional scripts, adjusts the lighting of different scenes to make the whole roaming scene more realistic, sets up a reasonable collision body in the collision of the model, and finds out all kinds of problems in the platform through continuous system testing, and then packages and publishes the digital protection platform of industrial heritage after determining that there is no error in the platform.
Digital protection platform development process
The industrial heritage digital protection system studied in this project is a protection system that integrates three-dimensional architectural information, ethnic customs, and cultural information and uses the MySQL database to store the data information within the platform. The overall architecture of this system adopts a three-layer structure: Data Access Layer (DAL), Business Logic Layer (BLL), and Representation Layer (UI) [24]. The overall architecture of the industrial heritage digital protection system is shown in Figure 2. The system is divided into three layers in order to achieve “high cohesion, low coupling”. The problem will be addressed separately.Divide and conquer is conducive to the rational allocation of resources, but it also makes it easier to solve problems and easier to control.
The overall framework of the digital protection system of industrial heritage
Data Access Layer
The data access layer mainly operates on the data stored in the database to enable adding, deleting, modifying, and querying data that is not the original.Through the reasonable design of the data access layer, it is possible to read and preserve various types of information in the industrial heritage digital protection system.If the system is compared to a company, the data access layer is the operator who performs a specific job.
Business Logic Layer
The business logic layer is in the middle of the overall structure, playing the role of the top and bottom. It is used to deal with data logic relationships.The business logic layer is the representation layer that obtains user instructions and then after judgment, decides whether the operation is passed to the data access layer, which is equivalent to the company’s decision-making leadership.
Representation Layer
The representation layer generally refers to the system interface, responsible for interacting with the user. The representation layer is equivalent to the receptionist at the front desk of the company.Only the user’s information and operations are needed.The representation layer is the interface of the user control system, including user inputs such as logging into the system and querying information.
The functional structure of the overall design of the industrial heritage system is shown in Figure 3. The system is divided into six modules: (1) Attractions Introduction Module, which is mainly used to introduce the historical background of industrial heritage as well as the name and use of each industrial heritage; (2) Virtual Browsing Module, in which users can freely choose the free roaming mode or the first-person roaming mode according to their preferences, (3) Architectural Drawings Module, which provides the function of viewing and downloading architectural drawings of industrial heritage. (4) Historical Stories module, which collects industrial heritage-related historical stories and their character introduction. (5) Industrial Heritage Culture Module, which includes the origin of customs related to the region in the Industrial Heritage Culture Module. (6) Cultural and Creative Products Module, in which several cultural and creative products are designed for the industrial heritage. Scene roaming, drawing downloading, page jumping, and other functions are realized through these six modules.
The overall design function of industrial heritage system
The ANOVA results of the willingness to use the functions related to the industrial heritage digitalization and protection platform are shown in Table 4. It can be seen that the p-value is less than 0.05. That is, there is a significant difference between the people with different degrees of understanding of industrial heritage in A city and the willingness to use the relevant functions of the industrial heritage digitization platform. By comparing the mean values, it can be seen that the higher the degree of understanding of the industrial heritage of A city, the stronger the willingness to use the functions of creative games and pattern database of the digitization platform; those who have a little understanding of the industrial heritage of A city are also willing to use the functions of production process and virtual experience; and those who have little understanding of the industrial heritage of A city are more willing to use the functions of basic knowledge, creative games and virtual experience. Therefore, when designing the digital protection platform of industrial heritage in A city, in addition to basic knowledge and other functions, it should also pay attention to the construction of the database function, and at the same time, it should also pay attention to the construction of creative games and virtual experience function of the construction process of industrial heritage in A city, so as to meet the needs of users.

In order to understand the relationship between the dimensions in the theoretical model of experience influencing factors of the digital platform of industrial heritage on user experience satisfaction, a linear regression approach was used to validate and analyze it. The theoretical model of experience influencing factors of industrial heritage digital platforms constructed in this section takes the seven dimensions of usability, reliability, findability, interactivity, openness, immersion and satisfaction as latent variables and their respective corresponding elements as observed variables. Among them, the six independent variable dimensions of usability, reliability, findability, interactivity, openness, and immersion and their corresponding elements are extrinsic variables, and the dependent variable satisfaction and its corresponding elements are intrinsic variables, i.e., a total of seven latent variables and 24 observational variables, and the latent and observational variables of the experience influencing factors model of the digital protection platform for industrial heritage are shown in Table 5. The latent variables and observational variables are coded separately to facilitate the data organization and analysis after the questionnaire is recovered at a later stage, and at the same time, the reliability and validity analysis and regression analysis of the collected sample information by using SPSS 26.0 can get the relationship of the influence of each variable on the user’s experiential satisfaction, which can provide the theoretical and data support for the further optimization and design of the digital protection platform of the industrial heritage in the following period. The hypothesis is made based on the preliminary survey and related research: in the digital protection platform of non-heritage, the usability, reliability, findability, interactivity, openness and immersion of the platform have a certain positive influence on the user experience satisfaction.

The data imported through the linear regression analysis of SPSS 26.0 can be concluded that the p-value is 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating that at least one of the six independent variables can significantly affect the dependent variable. VIF is less than 5, which implies that there is no multiple covariance among the variables and indicates that the arithmetic results are reliable, and the results of the linear regression analysis of the model of the influencing factors of the experience of the digital preservation platform of the industrial heritage are shown in Table 6. The results of the linear regression analysis are shown in Table 6. The linear regression model’s fit is excellent, R2=0.566>0.3, indicating that the analysis results can accurately and reliably represent the effects of usability, reliability, findability, interactivity, openness, and immersion on satisfaction. The p-values of usability, findability, interactivity, and immersion are all less than 0.05, indicating that these four dimensions can significantly and positively influence satisfaction, while the p-values of reliability and openness are greater than 0.05, indicating that these two dimensions do not have a significant impact on experience satisfaction, but considering that both the industrial heritage digitization platforms and this kind of cultural and science popularization platforms should have the functions of a reliable source of content and information, and accessibility. The openness and reliability dimensions should still be taken into account in the actual design of industrial heritage digitization platforms, i.e., the design should indicate the source, pay attention to the adaptation, etc.

The article explores the role of digital protection technology in industrial heritage protection and cultural transmission by using 3D Max and Unity 3D software technology to build an industrial heritage digital protection platform.
On the value judgment of industrial heritage in City A, 80% of the experts believe that the cultural transmission of industrial heritage in City A is not prominent enough.17.35% of the respondents think that the dissemination of the culture of industrial heritage in City A has failed to form a branding development, and the industrial heritage currently lacks the ability to create a branding effect. From this, it can be concluded that the cultural transmission of industrial heritage in City A is still insufficient. The regression analysis shows that the user’s satisfaction with use is affected by the four dimensions of the platform’s usability, findability, interactivity, and immersion, which is less than 0.05.
Therefore, the industrial heritage digital protection platform constructed in this paper provides a feasible technical solution for the protection of industrial heritage and promotes the protection of industrial heritage and its cultural inheritance in China.
