The Status, Challenges, and Future of Additive Manufacturing in Engineering
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is poised to bring about a revolution in the way products are designed, manufactured, and distributed to end users. This technology has gained significant academic as well as industry interest due to its ability to create complex...
Hand Grasp and Motion for Intent Expression in Mid-Air Virtual Pottery
Abstract:Â We describe the design and evaluation of a geometric interaction technique for bare-hand mid-air virtual pottery. We model the shaping of a pot as a gradual and progressive convergence of the pot-profile to the shape of the user’s hand represented as...
A Gesture-free Geometric Approach for Mid-Air Expression of Design Intent
Abstract: The advent of depth cameras has enabled mid-air interactions for shape modeling with bare hands. Typically, these interactions employ a finite set of pre-defined hand gestures to allow users to specify modeling operations in virtual space. However, human...
