Titel
The eraser pen: A new interaction paradigm for curve sketching in 3D
Abstract
The paper presents a direct manipulative technique called 3D-Eraser Pen. By means of this technique if the resulting polyline, curve or surface is not exactly what the designer wants, he/she can delete part of the sketch just going back and do it again and again until he/she reaches the final shape. In that way we have combined the creation and deletion process, rewriting the pencil and rubber metaphor in just one tool. The possibility to use a tool that allow the user to specify 3D curves in a very easy and natural way represents the major contribution to the paper. The combination of the semi-immersive environment with lightweight interaction devices and innovative interaction techniques facilitates intuitive free-form modeling at a Virtual Table.
