Abstract

Traditional pens and papers are often the most preferable drawing materials for industrial designers, though computer aided design (CAD) systems are widely used in industrial design field. Such CAD systems are too strict for designers to draw their sketches freely and lack some real feeling of drawing. Somehow, especially in industrial design field, designers need to be assisted when they are drawing sketches since it is difficult even for professional designers to draw beautiful lines and curves every time they move their pens. The authors introduce a new computer aided drawing system, which is called Hyperdraw, in this paper. The Hyperdraw system "reads" its user's mind: it predicts and curves/lines that the user is intending to draw on a canvas and shows guide on the canvas by using mixed reality (MR) technology.
