Abstract: In this article, we propose and evaluate a mobile virtual traditional crafting presentation system consisting of the Content Browsing Mobile Application and the content management web application. The former provides various information of traditional craft and a high immersion feeling by an AR content. The latter manages the traditional craft information and the traditional technique information treated by the Content Browsing Mobile Application. In this research, we evaluated the necessity, the effectiveness, the operability, the functionality, and the readability of the mobile virtual traditional crafting presentation system. As questionnaire survey result, we were able to confirm the evaluation in all the items.

Keywords: augmented reality; virtual reality; traditional craft; 3D objects; mobile applications; mobile apps; content browsing; content management; immersion.
