Toronto University develop innovative sketching software
September 18 2009
A 3D curve sketching system that captures the intuitive appeal of pen and paper has been developed by the Department of Computer Science at Toronto University.Using touch screen technology designers can use a stylus to sketch 3D models directly thanks to a combination of existing sketch based interaction and automated features.
Novel approaches include automatic view rotation to improve curve sketching, an axis widget for sketch surface selection, simplified navigation, a cohesive gesture vocabulary and implicitly inferred changes between sketching techniques.
Best appreciated on video more information on the technique can be viewed at Ilovesketch.
