Sketching and Pen-Based Design Interaction;

摘要

Sketching is a primary medium for ideation and communication among humans, and it is widely used in tasks involving both synthesis (design, creation) and analysis (problem solving, modeling, editing, marking). The increased availability of supporting digital tools has caused interest in sketch-based interaction to surge considerably, and researchers have developed computational systems and applications that are capable of working from such input. The challenges along the way, however, have forced us to take a closer look at our knowledge of sketching and our interactions with sketches, because we realize how little we understand the way they facilitate and contribute to our creative tasks.
