The research on the use of virtual reality (VR) in the design domain has been conducted in a
fragmentary way so far, and some misalignments have emerged among scholars. In …

We survey the state of the art of spatial interfaces for 3D visualization. Interaction techniques
are crucial to data visualization processes and the visualization research community has …

We present SymbiosisSketch, a hybrid sketching system that combines drawing in air (3D)
and on a drawing surface (2D) to create detailed 3D designs of arbitrary scale in an …

Sketching in virtual reality (VR) enhances perception and understanding of 3D volumes, but
is currently a challenging task, as spatial input devices (eg, tracked controllers) do not …

Sketching in immersive 3D virtual reality (VR) environments has great potential for a variety
of interactive 3D design applications. Precisely sketching the intended strokes in mid-air …

We present DesignAR, an augmented design workstation for creating 3D models. Our
approach seamlessly integrates an interactive surface displaying 2D views with head …

Complex virtual reality (VR) tasks, like 3D solid modelling, are challenging with standard
input controllers. We propose exploiting the affordances and input capabilities when using a …

Three-dimensional modeling has long been regarded as an ideal application for virtual
reality (VR), but current VR-based 3D modeling tools suffer from two problems that limit …

Mid-air 3D sketching has been mainly explored in Virtual Reality (VR) and typically requires
special hardware for motion capture and immersive, stereoscopic displays. The recently …

As immersive 3D user interfaces reach broader acceptance, their use as sketching media is
attracting both commercial and academic interests. So far, little is known about user …
