Andrew Rukangu, Ethan Bowmar, Sun Joo Ahn, Beshoy W. Morkos, Kyle J. Johnsen · 2025
We present Drawn Together, a 3D immersive mixed-reality sketching and annotation tool designed for collaboration research. The system supports a variety of 3D content creation ranging from mid-air, free-form line drawing to voxel-based drawings and mannequins that can be flexibly posed. Groups of users can engage in synchronous, collocated design, education, art, and play aligned against a pass-through video backdrop to allow for physical references and annotations. A number of input options are also presented, including standard motion controllers, a tracked stylus, and ring-augmented hand tracking.
