JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMany traditional crafts inherited by minority tribes in Viet Nam are disappearing from the mountainous areas due to the changes taking place in their daily life. Two surveys in 119 and 1999 investigated the following crafts -(1) silver metal works, (2) bamboo crafts, (3) woven and dyed fabrics, (4) pottery, (5) blacksmith products, (6) craft paper, and (7) stick incense. The paper highlights their marketability in light of possible future preservation and promotion. The first three crafts can find potential markets applying their traditional values. The last three may be fading out as the demand diminishes. The crafts of (2), (3) and (4) have good prospects of transforming into innovative crafts. The paper identifies the common problems and elaborates the possible solutions for necessary action. Implementing a master plan study is one the recommendations of the second survey and the Vietnamese Government completed it under JICA's technical cooperation program in 2003.View full abstractDownload PDF (1356K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFor the expression of feeling of texture with 3D CG, the texture mapping technique has recently been dominant. In this study, we propose an expression technique with particles that can make one feel tactile texture by visualizing invisible objects. Moreover, using the SD method, we have evaluated what influence the technique can have on the human mind. From a factor analysis using the evaluation results obtained, we have clarified the human evaluation structure of the expression for a sense of touch by visualization with particles. The structure consists of two factors, a factor for a feeling of rough and elasticity, a factor for a feeling of moisture. Additionally, using a multiple regression method, we have examined the correlation between the two factors and the motion parameter values of the images visualized, and found that the parameters for the "friction" and "bound coefficient" of invisible objects and the "size" and "quantity" of visualized objects are strongly effective than the "gravity".View full abstractDownload PDF (840K) -
