Description

The level of immersion in virtual reality refers to how deeply a user feels when he/she is presenting within a virtual environment. Factors like visuals, audio, interactivity and haptic feedback can affect the level of immersion.

When it comes to virtual crafting, experiences are designed to be as immersive and interactive as possible. Like virtual pottery, when shaping a virtual clay, it is possible for users to use their hands to shape the virtual clay with technologies. However, pottery in real life consists of aspects that are yet to be covered in current virtual pottery. Such as feelings of temperature and moistness of a real clay, and much more, that nowadays technologies aren’t able to deliver the variety of feedbacks to the users.

This project will examine one of the most common type of model making—paper modeling, break down and simplify the hand gestures in the modeling process, to develop a phygital interactive medium that provide users an immersive crafting experience.
