Abstract

A high presence immersive traditional crafting system was developed to provide users, who interact with the system through head-mounted displays, with a highly realistic traditional crafting presentation experience that allows moving functions, such as free walk-through and teleportation. Users can also interactively operate traditional craft objects in space. In addition, the system supports collaborative work in a virtual space shared by remote users. To evaluate the effectiveness of this system, a questionnaire survey was administered to 124 subjects, who provided overwhelmingly positive responses regarding all functions. However, there is still room for improvement in the operability and relevancy of the system.
