Abstract

In this paper, we present an ikebana (i.e., Japanese traditional art of flower arrangement) competition system in a networked virtual environment with haptic and olfactory senses. In the system, each user can hold a flower, adjust the length of the held flower´s stem with a pair of scissors, and impale the flower on a flower pin-holder in a 3D virtual space over a network. After the server of the system has received arrangements from users, the best arrangements are selected by votes of users and/or ikebana experts at remote locations.
