"Now, with the aid of technology, the audience can experience this in a very short amount of time," he said, explaining it's difficult for the public to gain access to the art form due to its high level of craftsmanship and the complex production process involved.

"It requires a high level of expertise and dozens of artisans to participate and work together, and the production cycle is long," Su said.

"Especially the enamel firing process, which requires a temperature above 800 degrees, making it hard for ordinary people to experience or appreciate it directly," Su added.

The 3D modeling and rendering can give a realistic depiction of the form, colors, textures, and details of the objects, and immerse viewers in the craftsman's environment.

"We have enhanced interactivity by using augmented reality, and visitors can use AR spatial interactive pens to explore the full production process of cloisonne, including steps such as making the base, applying the wirework, adding enamel, and firing," Su added.
