3D HAND INPUT MODELING SYSTEM : DIGINFO
3D HAND INPUT MODELING SYSTEM : DIGINFO, DigInfo movie diginfo tv Professor Soto Sagas Interactive Systems Research Laboratory at the Muroran Institute of Technology continues to move forward in developing a freehand graphic input technology BlueGrotto is a freehand 3D modeling system that uses a virtual reality environment to enable users to create accurate geometric solid figures by merely sketching the lines in the air freehand BlueGrotto uses a freehand graphic recognition engine dubbed the Fuzzy Spline Curve Identifier FSCI that the Muroran research lab developed The FSCI enables users to input various geometric solid shapes by simply sketching the lines of the figure in the air The lab has also developed a Sketch Input Tracer SKIT that converts the FSCI engine into a front end processor to make it possible to easily add freehand graphic input recognition function to CAD and 3D modelers already on the market BlueGrottoFEP is also under development and it will convert BlueGrotto into a 3D freehand input front end processor FEP BlueGrottoFEP brings BlueGrottos direct freehand input functionality to existing commercial CAD systems The goal of the lab is to develop a practical 3D modeling environment that incorporates its proprietary technologies to enable intuitive freehand input simultaneously with the input of an abundant number of CAD commands
