Summary

This paper shows our system called as Somect, which is the digital system to experience Kaga-yuzen dyeing. In recent year, young people are losing interest in local traditional handicrafts. One of the reason is that they have preconceived images about them. In order to rediscover the fascinations of traditional handicrafts, innovative promotion method is needed. Therefore, we developed the digital system with Kinect sensor and image processing. The feature of the system is to experience virtual dyeing manipulated by hands. Furthermore, we designed the box and the event site to experience dyeing through the digital system. Finally, we reported the result of our event for the demonstration experiment.
