User Interface Research for Stereoscopic 3D Animation System

Janro Imaging Laboratory (JIL) will work with researchers at Concordia and Emily Carr universities to develop 3D motion-tracking based interference tools for drawing and content creation in spatial drawing applications. As a basis for applied design research, researchers will use an alpha version of the “Optical Wand,” a product currently in developement at JIL for use with SANDDE, a software system under development at JIL. Unlike any other available 3D animation system, with SANDDE, the animator works in the stereoscopic environment itself, and can therefore make changes intuitively and rapidly to the spatial composition of their work in 3D, and in real time. The expected result of this project is the invention of an optimal gesture-based interface for drawing directly in 3D steroscopic space in professional animation applications. The resulting invention would be an unprecendented interface tool, which can be produced using Direct Digital Manufacturing and as such, is likely……………..
