Human-Computer Interactions for Digital Styling Design

摘要

This paper reviews novel research and practicalrntechnologies concerning with the human-computer interactionsrnfor helping styling designer originate 3D geometric models inrnthe styling design process. First, the problem of the humanrninterface of the current commercial 3D CAD systems isrnpointed out from the industrial designer's viewpoint. Thenrnseveral novel human-computer interaction technique in orderrnto realize the effective creation and intuitive manipulation ofrnthe 3D geometric models both in the commercial CAD systemsrnand in basic research, are introduced. Four major approaches ofrnhuman-computer interactions are especially focused on:rnreverse engineering, sketch-based modelling, haptic-basedrnmodelling and content-based 3D model retrieval. Currentrntechnical abilities, future possibilities and limitations of themrnare discussed.
