Project Details
- "Surface Drawing is a medium that enables creation of a wide variety of intricate, organic 3D shapes. Objects are created by moving the hand through space."
- "The path of the hand forms surface pieces that seamlessly merge when they touch. Users can also erase, add details, and manipulate objects with a simple two-handed interface. Freely growing, joining, and erasing surface pieces enables rapid prototyping of freeform shapes."
- "The system is implemented with the semi-immersive environment of the Responsive Workbench. An 18-sensor CyberGlove measures hand configuration, which controls the shape of surface pieces."
