A Sketch-based Interface for Interactive Process Planning Design in Pervasive Computing Environment

摘要

In this paper, we present a new interface for rapidly creating and modifying the process planning design for knitting garments. Designers (or like technologist for process planning) expect better looking interfaces that are also easy to use to improve high efficiency and productivity and to focus on task itself instead of tools as providing the invisibility in pervasive computing. With the benefits of traditional pen and pencil metaphor, sketch-based interface can meet the requirements of personality and diversification during the process planning. It allows users to conduct the process planning drawings by sketching, exploring and modifying their ideas interactively, with immediate visual feedback. Our results show that the system can be used to create a broad range of clothes naturally and effectively.
