Title: Create product shapes with hand motions
Authors: M. Bordegoni, U. Cugini
Abstract: Typically, in the conceptual phase of product design both Virtual Models (VM) and Physical Mock-Ups (PMU) are produced for improving the validation activity of the project, but in both cases, some disadvantages arise. The European project Touch and Design (T’nD) (www.kaemart.it/touch-and-design/wordpress) proposes an optimal tradeoff between the two practices with the implementation of an innovative modeling technique and a novel haptic interaction method. In this paper we present the gestures analysis of designers at work which has lead to the design and development of a freeform shape modeling system based on intuitive haptic tools.
