An Interactive System for Original Necklace Design

We propose an interactive system to assist novices in the design and construction of original necklaces. The system consists of two design tools, an interactive drag-and-drop design tool using images of pearls and a design selection tool with an interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) system. The system includes a virtual modeling simulation which allows users to superimpose a necklace design over their own photograph, taken with a web camera. The system also provides a customized construction guide to assist the user with the construction process. We conduct a field trial to demonstrate that non-professional users can design original necklaces using our system.
