Advanced Computational Modeling and Simulation for Immersive Virtual Reality Experiences: Preserving Hong Kong's Traditional Handicrafts

This research investigates the preservation of Hong Kong’s traditional handicrafts, specifically porcelain paintings (Guangcai), through advanced computational modeling and Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) systems. The study develops an interactive digital platform that transforms traditional artistic expression into contemporary digital experiences by combining physics-based simulation, haptic feedback, and immersive narratives within a Virtual Reality (VR) framework. The methodology consists of several critical modeling and simulation components, including data digitalization, rendering optimization, real-time performance and interactive solutions, creating an essential framework for cultural heritage preservation in various fields while demonstrating the potential of computational modeling in bridging traditional handicrafts with modern technology.
