Freeform: a Tool for Sketching Form Designs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This demonstration shows the tool we have developed for hand-sketching user interfaces. Our motivation for developing this tool is to provide an environment where novice programmers can move freely along the design continuum from informal low-fidelity prototypes to completed formal designs. A low-cost digital whiteboard is used to provide a shared work space for Freeform. The tool is integrated into a programming IDE and provides penbased sketching and editing, a storyboard, run mode, recognition of shapes and words and conversion into a formal design in the programming IDE.

FlexiSketch: A Mobile Sketching Tool for Software Modeling
Although most software engineers have access to various modeling tools, they often use paper and pencil to sketch ideas and to support modeling activities. This is particularly true when they are working in the field, for example gathering requirements from stakeholders. Sketches documented on paper very often need to be re-modeled in order to allow further processing – an error-prone and timec...
متن کاملMotion Amplifiers: Sketching Dynamic Illustrations Using the Principles of 2D Animation
0BABSTRACT We present a sketching tool for crafting animated illustrations that contain the exaggerated dynamics of stylized 2D animations. The system provides a set of motion amplifiers which implement a set of established principles of 2D animation. These amplifiers break down a complex animation effect into independent, understandable chunks. Each amplifier imposes deformations to an underly...
متن کاملOptimization of Freeform Building Shape Using Genetic Algorithm
This paper proposes an optimization algorithm for envelope design during an early stage freeform building design. This study performs geometric modeling using a three-dimensional (3D) design tool called Rhino, which designs examples of freeform buildings with a parametric design method, i.e., a 3D design technique for freeform building design. This method proceeds by mesh generation for the fre...
متن کاملA 3D Sketching Interacting Tool for Physical Simulation Based on Web
Sketching interface, as a user-friendly means for expression and communication, is not only an important medium for inputting 3D objects, but also a significant step of visualizing user’s conceptual ideas. To bring early sketching interface to network utilities, the paper defines several rules that can create and edit 3D models. These gesture schemes support both regular and freeform modeling, ...
متن کاملNapkin Sketch
This paper describes, Napkin Sketch, a novel 3D sketching interface which attempts to mimic the qualities of conventional sketching medium and tools both in terms of physical properties and interaction experience. A portable tablet PC is used as the sketching platform, and mixed reality techniques are employed to allow 3D sketches to be created on top of a physical napkin. Intuitive manipulatio...
