Physical Paper as the User Interface for an Architectural Design Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early architectural design is a typical example where traditional design tools such as sketching on paper still dominate over computer-assisted tools. Augmented reality is presented as a promising approach towards developing an interaction style that preserves the naturalness of the traditional way of designing, while at the same time providing access to new media. Using the Visual Interaction Platform (VIP-3), a first prototype tool that supports a combination of virtual and physical paper has been realized. We discuss some of the unsolved problems and potential benefits of a user interface based on physical paper.

Evaluation of User Interaction with Daylighting Simulation in a Tangible User Interface
We present a study of a tangible user interface for design and simulation applied to architectural daylighting analysis. This tool provides an intuitive way for architects and future occupants of a building to quickly construct physical models and interactively view in them a projected simulation of resulting daylighting. A user study was conducted of both architecture students and non-architec...
