A 3D Interface for Selecting Household Paint Colors

摘要

Commercially available tools for searching collections ofrnpaint colors are critically examined and a new computer interfacernfor selecting household paint colors is proposed. The new systemrnis organized according to a perceptual color space and uses modeless,rnconstrained, in-place, 3D interaction. Two user studies arernperformed to evaluate this system and the results are discussed.rnThese studies demonstrate that, with enough training, our systemrnis faster and at least as accurate as current color search tools.rnThe results suggest that the tool could be beneficial to properlyrntrained design professionals. Users also report a favorable impressionrnof our system over the current tools.
