Abstract:
The NSF Digital Clay project is focused on the design, prototyping, integration,
and validation of a computer-controlled physical device capable of taking any of
a wide range of possible shapes in response to changes in a digital 3D model or
to changes in the pressure exercised upon it by human hands. Although it clearly
is a natural and unavoidable evolution of 3D graphical user interfaces, its
unprecedented capabilities constitute a major leap in technologies and paradigms
for 3D display, for 3D input, and for collaborative 3D design. In this paper, we
provide an overview of the Digital Clay project and discuss the challenges, design
choices, and initial solutions for a new Finger Sculpting interface designed for
the Digital Clay and prototyped using conventional 3D I/O hardware.
