スケッチが瞬く間に3D曲線になるILOVEsketch

手描きのスケッチが瞬く間に3D曲線になるILOVEsketch。現在の所試験段階のようだけれども，商業化されれば映画のスペシャルエフェクト製作者や工業デザイナーなどが真っ先に採用するだろう。デモビデオでは大型スクリーンのwacomタブレットでペンだけで線を引いたり，消したりする様子が映されている。

ILoveSketch, a 3D curve sketching system that captures some of the affordances of pen and paper for professional designers, allowing them to iterate directly on concept 3D curve models. The system coherently integrates existing techniques of sketch-based interaction with a number of novel and enhanced features. Novel contributions of the system include automatic view rotation to improve curve sketchability, an axis widget for sketch surface selection, and implicitly inferred changes between sketching techniques. We also improve on a number of existing ideas such as a virtual sketchbook, simplified 2D and 3D view navigation, multi-stroke NURBS curve creation, and a cohesive gesture vocabulary.
