Window-Shaping: 3D Design Ideation by Creating on, Borrowing from, and Looking at the Physical World

Window-Shaping: 3D Design Ideation by Creating on, Borrowing from, and Looking at the Physical World

by | Dec 26, 2016 | 2017, DESIGN METHOD, HUMAN SHAPE INTERACTION, Karthik Ramani, Ke Huo, Multi-touch Interaction, Recent Publications, Vinayak

We present, Window-Shaping, a tangible mixed-reality (MR) interaction metaphor for design ideation that allows for the direct creation of 3D shapes on and around physical objects. Using the sketch-and-inflate scheme, our metaphor enables quick design of dimensionally...
