Craft Visualization by Analyzing Emotional Information and Spatio-Temporal Features

This paper presents a visualization system aimed at enhancing users’ understanding of local traditional crafts and promoting their revitalization at a regional level. The system utilizes an analysis of emotional information and spatio-temporal features to visualize traditional crafts that have been officially designated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). By incorporating these analytical aspects, users can gain insights into the distinctive characteristics of local traditional crafts and the emotional attributes that reflect their historical significance. Furthermore, we developed a visualization system specifically designed for traditional crafts and conducted user satisfaction experiments to assess its effectiveness. The results of these experiments confirm that users can intuitively and comprehensively comprehend the intricacies of local traditional crafts through the utilization of the visualization system.
