A 3D Interface for Selecting Household Paint Colors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Commercially available tools for searching collections of paint colors are critically examined and a new computer interface for selecting household paint colors is proposed. The new system is organized according to a perceptual color space and uses modeless, constrained, in-place, 3D interaction. Two user studies are performed to evaluate this system and the results are discussed. These studies demonstrate that, with enough training, our system is faster and at least as accurate as current color search tools. The results suggest that the tool could be beneficial to properly trained design professionals. Users also report a favorable impression of our system over the current tools.

A Computer Graphics System for Examining Paint Color Collections
A computer graphic program for organizing and displaying the colors in a paint collection is presented. A virtual representation for the traditional color card fan deck is described. This interactive program provides a lightness, chroma and hue interface for selecting a color from the collection. Software for visualizing a paint color on a three dimensional surface is also discussed. This tool ...
متن کاملThe Wall of Inspiration: A Computer Aided Color Selection System
Computer graphics hardware and software is used to create a new set of tools for selecting a household paint color. Important surface reflection effects, such as gloss and pearlescence, are rendered in real time using pixel shading hardware. Unlike traditional paint chips, this feature permits colors to be evaluated on three dimensional shapes and in different surface finishes. A novel set of c...

This document describes four projects that, taken together, serve as a proof by example of the efficacy of a perception-motivated strategy for making graphics tools. More specifically, this strategy involves first selecting local features motivated by human perception and domain understanding, and then building algorithms that allow users to interactively edit these features. While the tools pr...
متن کاملPersonalized Retrieval from Material Color Databases for 3D Polygonal Models
There has been considerable demand for the development of virtual spaces. When virtual spaces such as virtual cities or virtual offices are created, the material colors of 3D models in these spaces greatly influence the appearance, so designers of virtual spaces must use proper material colors. Material colors of 3D models can be specified with ambient color, diffuse color, specular color, emis...
