Abstract

In this paper, we apply augmented reality to provide pottery design experiences to the user. Augmented reality offers natural 3D interaction, a tangible interface, and integration into the real environment. In addition, certain modeling techniques impossible in the real world can be realized as well. Using our AR system, the user can create a pottery model by deforming a virtual pottery displayed on a marker with another marked held by the user's hand. This interaction style allows the user to experience the traditional way of pottery making. Also provided are six interaction modes to facilitate the design process and an intuitive switching technique using occlusion-based interface. The AR pottery system can be used for virtual pottery prototyping and education.
