The Daisy Vase Project- A Unique Vase for Everybody
CHI EA '25: Extended Abstracts of the 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Yokohama, Japan, April 2025 (bib)

The Daisy Vase Project is somewhere between science, commerce, and art. It aims at randomly creating vases that are printable with a 3D printer. The program written for the project outputs vases meshes and some of the vases are beautiful and have an unseen design. Besides creating beautiful designs, the goal of the Daisy Vase Project is also to program a generator that can generate so many different vase designs that every person in this world can have a unique vase.The presented vase generator has this capability. Developing the algorithms and the user interface is a scientific task while the question of what is beauty belongs to art. Presenting computer-generated suggestions would provide a new shopping experience if used for commercial purposes.
