Towards calligraphic interfaces: sketching 3D scenes with gestures and context icons
João Paulo Pereira, Joaquim Armando Jorge, Vasco Branco, Fernando Ferreira · Digital Library (University of West Bohemia) · 2000
GIDeS (Gesture-based Intuitive Design System) is a gesture-based modeling system that addresses the known ergonomic shortcomings of present-day CAD systems for conceptual shape design. GIDeS uses a tablet and stylus combination to combine the intuitive appeal of gesture-based interfaces with contextbased icons. GIDeS draws on previous modeling work, using contextual information and feedback to free users from remembering detailed modeling gestures, allowing them to concentrate on drawing, towards our end goal of bridging the chasm between paper and pencil and CAD interfaces in the early design stage.
