If a beginner can not learn from an expert for the important principle of bonsai than must collect as much information as possible even with lots of the bonsai pictures. These messages are usually in 2D format. It allows beginners to see the original form and the final result but how to start it and how to shape the tree will be another question. Basically it is easy to teach beginner put tree into a bonsai pot. But it is very difficult to teach beginner on bonsai styling because everyone’s aesthetic standards are different, a person like it another person might not like it. When beginner bought a tree from the nursery which branch suppose to cut, and after cut some branches what this tree will look like. Because once the branch is cut that is gone and cannot glue it back. This research creates a 3D virtual reality system help beginner to see what their own bonsai will look like before cut any of the branches. It is shown that 65% of the students agreed this 3D bonsai style learning system to be helpful for the beginners in the bonsai class. This study is definitely a better and faster way to learn bonsai styling for the beginner.
