# Eye Tracking and Semantic Evaluation for Ceramic Teapot Product Modeling
## 2 Literature Review and Theoretical Basis  
### Current Status of Ceramic Teapot Research  
As shown in Figure 1, except for China, the international academic research on ceramic teapots is relatively small and narrow in scope. Some scholars have explored the relationship between different countries and Chinese ceramics, such as [PERSON], who studied the connection between English Worcester ceramic and Chinese export ceramic, focusing on the landscape decoration of blue and white teapots [6]. [PERSON] explored the imitation of Chinese ceramics and kiln manufacturing techniques in Japan during the medieval period [7]. [PERSON] and [PERSON] compared Jeju clay with Yixing clay and argued that Jeju clay could have been used for teapot production [8].  
Scholars have studied the design and craftsmanship of ceramic products in depth. In the area of design, [PERSON] studied the emotional design of ceramic packaging [9], [PERSON] studied the application of ceramic materials in modern bamboo furniture design [10], and [PERSON] studied the impact of ceramic tableware design elements on user sensitivity [11]. In terms of craftsmanship, [PERSON], [PERSON] used digital image processing technology to design ceramic product shapes [12], [PERSON], [PERSON] used reverse engineering technology to improve the manufacture of purple clay teapot molds [13]. [PERSON] explored the production process of Gijang ceramics and its characteristics in the history of ceramics [14]. [PERSON], [PERSON], on the other hand, created an interactive virtual exhibition of ceramic artifacts using 3D-modeling technology [15]. However, it lacks a link to consumer preferences.  
In addition, some scholars have paid attention to the study of ceramic materials. Some scholars actively explore new materials. For example, [PERSON] proposed environmentally

friendly ceramic materials from the perspective of industrial design [16]. Some scholars have focused on the improvement of traditional materials, including the precise control of ceramic firing and molding process parameters [17], in order to enhance product quality. Moreover, [PERSON] ZH suggested that the taste of tea is related to the material of the pot [18], and [PERSON], [PERSON] explored the effect of light, color, temperature, and illumination on ceramic teapots [19]. Finally, scholars have also paid attention to the cultural value and market demand for teapots; [PERSON] studied the design style and inscription decoration of purple clay teapots, giving them deep cultural connotations and traditional Chinese artistic qualities [20].  
Functionality research mainly focuses on durability and functional coatings. Some scholars have improved the abrasiveness of ceramic materials using low temperatures as a coolant [21]. Meanwhile, [PERSON] developed coatings with antimicrobial functions to enhance usage performance [22]. However, there is a lack of research on the sustainable production and design of ceramic teapots, such as the use of environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient manufacturing processes.  
The research status in this section shows that the current research involves many aspects of ceramic teapots, such as the emotional design of ceramic packaging, the application of materials in furniture design, and the influence of tableware design elements in design and technology. For ceramic materials, there is an exploration of new materials and traditional material improvement research; there is also cultural value, market demand, and some functional research. However, globally, except for China, the relevant academic research is small in scale and narrow in scope. A lack of correlation with consumer preferences and a lack of systematic research in modeling and design provides the research direction for this study.
