SymbiosisSketch - Combining 2D & 3D Sketching for Designing Detailed 3D Objects in Situ

Explore a groundbreaking hybrid sketching system that combines 2D and 3D drawing techniques for creating detailed 3D designs in augmented reality. Learn about SymbiosisSketch, presented at the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, which leverages the complementary affordances of 3D and 2D interactions for in situ 3D conceptual design. Discover how the system creates surfaces from unorganized 3D curves, serving as 3D canvases for 2D tablet strokes and shape proxies for occlusion. Understand the ergonomic benefits of drawing interchangeably on a 2D tablet or in 3D within a comfortable canonical volume, mapped to arbitrary scale in AR. Gain insights into the evaluation study demonstrating the technique's ease of use and effectiveness in enhancing creative potential beyond traditional sketching or drawing in air.
