چکیده

In this paper, we explore a minimalistic, gesture-based interface for fluid freehand concept sketching with vector graphics. Our approach leverages the advantages of both the GUI and gestural interface paradigms. We describe how to use frame gestures to control rotation, translation, and scale of the drawing canvas and of stroke selections. Based on an implementation of this concept we evaluate our tool with both novices and experts, and report on both its benefits and drawbacks.

Current Discussions on Digital Sketching in the Early Stages of Architectural Design in Education

In the architectural design, designers are focused on the early stages of the design process or conceptual design. The ultimate goal of this stage is to find a solution for an existing problem, investigate design space, or explore an idea. This stage conventionally begins with sketches and diagrams to explore ideas and solutions; the ambiguity and vagueness of conventional freehand sketching ca...

Interaction Concepts for Digital Concept Sketching

While interfaces for digital painting have been investigated in some detail, interaction dedicated for digital drawing and sketching has not received as much attention. We therefore explore new interaction concepts for digital drawing and present a system tailored to freehand sketching with a pen tablet. Because the interfaces of traditional graphics software are often complex and not aimed tow...

Freehand Drawing vs. Transformed Digital Drawing: A Preliminary Study and Comparison

This paper presents a preliminary study and comparison of digital drawings, which are transformed from freehand sketching by using Photoshop. With the development of new software, digital drawings are used more and more extensively in the design field. However, freehand sketching continues to provide unique and vital capabilities to interior designers and architects in allied fields (Laseau, 20...

Computer-Aided Sketching to Capture Preliminary Design

This paper describes the vital role of freehand sketching in the design process. When designers first tackle a design problem they usually do so by sketching. We will explore the essential elements of sketching that make it so helpful to problem solving. We then examine how current computer interfaces interfere with the sketching process, and go on to establish the requirements for an environme...
