| summary |
In this paper, a new concept of an interface system for 3-D geometric operation using a deformable real object as an input tool is proposed. By deforming the tool with barehands by tactile feedback, users can deform a 3-D shape modeled and displayed on a computer screen directly and intuitively. By adopting a free form deformation-orientedapproach, the interface enables various types of 3-D shape operations using a rather simple input tool. A prototype of the deformable object as input tool (DO-IT) interfacesystem using a cubic input tool made of foam rubber and strain gauges demonstrates the effectiveness and potential of the concept. |
