This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop an interactive NURBS modeling system using a force/position sensitive glove that mimics in real time the process of modeling objects using a clay or similar materials. The system will allow designers to use their artistic talents for conceptualizing, modeling and modifying products, in a very natural and intuitive manner. The Phase I work will address four objectives: 1) it will develop a design framework for capturing force and motion applied by the human hand during sculpting tasks; 2) it will develop a methodology to transmit and/or synthetically simulate the patterns of force and motion on a virtual model; 3) an intuitive user interface and interaction system will be proposed to make the task of design both practical, easy and pleasurable; and 4) the system will interface with commercial CAD systems and Rapid Prototyping systems, through a neutral file exchange system, making this into a ubiquitous CAD peripheral system.The research effort will impact in the state of art in design, human factors and ergonomics, education opportunities for students learning CAD fundamentals and mechanical engineers designing and modeling products. Future leveraging of the software and hardware infrastructure developed through this Phase I research for a commercial system will revolutionize the process of product design and manufacturing.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将开发一个交互式NURBS建模系统，该系统使用力/位置敏感手套实时模拟使用粘土或类似材料建模对象的过程。该系统将允许设计师利用他们的艺术天赋以非常自然和直观的方式对产品进行概念化、建模和修改。第一阶段的工作将致力于四个目标：1)它将开发一个设计框架，用于捕捉人类在雕刻任务中所施加的力和运动；2)它将开发一种方法，以传递和/或综合模拟虚拟模型上的力和运动模式；3)将提出一个直观的用户界面和交互系统，使设计任务既实用、容易又令人愉快；4)该系统将通过中性文件交换系统与商用CAD系统和快速原型系统对接，使之成为一个无处不在的CAD外围系统。研究工作将影响设计、人因和人机工程学的最新发展，为学生学习CAD基础知识和机械工程师设计和造型产品提供教育机会。未来利用通过商业系统第一阶段研究开发的软件和硬件基础设施将彻底改变产品设计和制造过程。
