Expressive cutting, deforming, and painting of three-dimensional digital shapes through asymmetric bimanual haptic manipulation

چکیده
Practitioners of the geosciences, design, and engineering disciplines communicate complex ideas about shape by manipulating three-dimensional digital objects to match their conceptual model. However, the two-dimensional control interfaces, common in software applications, create a disconnect to three-dimensional manipulations. This research examines cutting, deforming, and painting manipulations for expressive three-dimensional interaction. It presents a cutting algorithm specialized for planning cuts on a triangle mesh, the extension of a deformation algorithm for inhomogeneous meshes, and the definition of inhomogeneous meshes by painting into a deformation property map. This thesis explores two-handed interactions with haptic force-feedback where each hand can fulfill an asymmetric bimanual role. These digital shape manipulations demonstrate a step toward the creation of expressive three-dimensional interactions.

Using Deformation Map Painting for Bimanual, Haptic Sculpting of 3D Digital Models
We explore a novel interaction technique using forcefeedback devices for creative manipulation of 3D models that combines interactive mesh deformation with painting a deformation property map. Painting a deformation map permits the artist to easily assign different values of “malleability” to specific areas of the model in order to locally manipulate the deformation behavior during interactive ...
متن کاملShape Forming by Cutting and Deforming Operations
In this paper, an implementation of visual and haptic feedback of deforming and cutting operations is discussed. In the implementation of the deforming operation, the surface shape is represented by a geometric model while the physical reaction is simulated using a spring model. The deformation of the spring model is reflected onto the geometric model by using the interpolation technique. In th...
متن کاملSupporting Interactive Haptic Shaping of 3D Geologic Surfaces with Deformation Property Painting
Meshes made from 3D points are used to represent many important geoscience concepts such as the surface of the Earth (topography), rock strata (horizons) and faults. When creating complex computer models, a geoscientist may need to directly affect the shape of such a surface to bring in in line with other data. We present a method that allows a geoscientist to precisely interact with these surf...
متن کاملCombining Virtual Environments and Direct Manipulation for Architectural Modeling
In this paper we present an environment for conceptual design which mimics the interaction of designers with physical mockups. We present novel three dimensional on-and-above-the-surface interactive techniques which combine asymmetric bimanual operations with multi-touch direct manipulation on a flat surface and depth cameras. These take advantage of a continuous interaction space to create and...
متن کاملVisual and haptic discrimination of symmetry in unfamiliar displays extended in the z-axis.
We investigated, in two experiments, the discrimination of bilateral symmetry in vision and touch using four sets of unfamiliar displays. They varied in complexity from 3 to 30 turns. Two sets were 2-D flat forms (raised-line shapes and raised surfaces) while the other two were 3-D objects constructed by extending the 2-D shapes in height (short and tall objects). Experiment 1 showed that visua...
