Title:
- An Interactive System for Original Necklace Design
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
We propose an interactive system to assist novices in the design and construction of original necklaces. The system consists of two design tools, an interactive drag-and-drop design tool using images of pearls and a design selection tool with an interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) system. The system includes a virtual modeling simulation which allows users to superimpose a necklace design over their own photograph, taken with a web camera. The system also provides a customized construction guide to assist the user with the construction process. We conduct a field trial to demonstrate that non-professional users can design original necklaces using our system.
