Exploring the Craftsmanship of Traditional 'Baby Carriers' of the Miao Minority: Theoretical insights and digital visualization approaches

Contemporary design gradually combines traditional crafts with digital innovation to protect cultural heritage, exemplified by the traditional "baby carriers" of the Miao minority, which are rich in cultural heritage and exhibit unique design elements. This study examines digital representation's cultural background, characteristics, and status. It explores the advantages and challenges of employing virtual and augmented reality technologies facilitated by combining Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Style3D, and Browzwear. This study provides a theoretical framework and practical guidelines for extracting and presenting the critical features of the traditional "baby carriers," thereby laying a foundation for future research
