A three dimensional painting and sculpting tool.

Transcript

1. Sketch 3D a three dimensional painting / sculpting tool ! ! ! 3DUI Project Martin Schanzenbach, Felix Kaser, Daniel Bader 1
2. The original idea A marker defines an editing volume 2
3. The original idea Use a tracked pen to place “3D pixels” in the editing volume 3
4. The original idea Move the camera to freely explore the object you just painted 4
5. Improvements Editing volume restricting the painting area not helpful for users ! Interpolation to smooth out drawing movements fill out gaps when moving quickly better visual results 5
6. Improvements II The ground marker can be moved freely ! A MacGyver-style pen device 6
7. Usability testing: The setup Testers were asked to recreate simple shapes: 7
8. Usability testing: The setup II Positions of the screen and the camera were changed Camera: above vs. facing user vs. on the shoulder Screen: in front of user vs. completely hidden ! Tester performance was rated based on duration and precision 8
9. Usability testing: The results Tester performance was best when the screen was hidden initially (for the first tries) and the camera was placed “over the shoulder” ! Testers found it easiest to control their hand motion when the screen worked like a mirror e.g. moving your hand to the right translates to a movement to the right on screen 9
10. Usability testing: The results II It was difficult for testers to keep the marker visible to the camera ! Testers had problems navigating back to positions in space Possible solutions: add a cursor, add shadows 10
11. Usability testing: Impressions 11
12. Usability testing: Impressions 12
13. Usability testing: Impressions It is possible to paint something nice... :-) 13
14. Fun ideas 14 Place the ground marker on a rotary disk... Virtual pottery!
