Sandstone Buddha Statues of Phayao’s Craftsmen, Virtual Reality, PhotogrammetryAbstract
The project involving the virtual reality representation of sandstone Buddha statues crafted by artisans from Phayao holds significant importance within the realm of Buddhist arts. Originating during the Lanna Kingdom, specifically spanning the 19th to the 22nd Buddhist centuries, these statues have garnered distinction as a unique and exceptional form of artistic expression. A testament to the enduring opulence of the Lanna Kingdom, these artifacts continue to resonate in contemporary times. This research endeavors to adopt a novel approach, fusing artistic and methodological elements to unveil its findings. A comprehensive search was undertaken, underpinned by a creative amalgamation of art and research. A compendium of relevant scholarly sources was amassed, shedding light on the sandstone Buddha statues attributed to the skilled craftsmen of Phayao. Subsequently, employing the innovative technique of photogrammetry, By DSLR camera and use the program (Agisoft Matashape) for processing. intricate three-dimensional renditions of the Buddha were meticulously created. These digital representations served as the foundation for the ensuing construction of an immersive virtual reality environment—a platform conceived to be accessible to the broader populace, facilitating their engagement with this cultural heritage. The resultant feedback derived from the assessment of the polygonal 3D models of Phayao artisans' sandstone Buddha statues underscores a pronounced level of satisfaction. The evaluative metrics yielded an impressive satisfaction rating of 4.25— Satisfaction is at a high level. a testament to the profound enjoyment experienced by the participants within this virtual realm.
