This award provides funding to develop a new class of design scenarios, interaction and manipulation paradigms for design using sketching in 2D and natural gestures enabled by affordable depth sensing cameras. These natural interactions will transform human gestures to tangible shapes. Gestures will also be developed for 2D and 3D interaction with the created shapes. This natural gesture-based interaction paradigm will enable exploratory processes typical during brainstorming and support creative design exploration for sketching in 2D on real world surfaces, physical world to virtual transformation of 3D objects, and assembly with no training. A computational foundation and algorithms for accurate creation of sketches and manipulation using gestures in 2D will be developed while exploring design scenarios using virtual construction kit ideas and design assembly scenarios. We will develop a theory and scientific basis for Human-Computer-Human Interaction and architectural framework for design collaboration. Since the natural expression of shapes is the essence of creativity and visual thinking, it will be useful in design processes, especially in early stages. The new design concepts, methods and tools to support transformative design thinking will create new affordances for designs and if successful transform early design processes. This award will also introduce effective design learning in workshops to assist K-12 STEM education. Over the long term, the research, education, and dissemination efforts for natural design in 2D and 3D will enhance the creative design capacity. It would also enable any common person, including those that are young, to communicate and prototype design ideas directly in 3D space that have potential to fundamentally alter design paradigms.

该奖项提供资金，用于开发一类新的设计场景，交互和操作范例，用于使用2D草图和自然手势进行设计，这些设计由负担得起的深度传感相机实现。这些自然的互动将把人类的手势转变为有形的形状。手势也将被开发用于与创建的形状进行2D和3D交互。这种基于自然手势的交互范例将实现头脑风暴期间典型的探索过程，并支持在真实的世界表面上进行2D草图绘制的创意设计探索，物理世界到3D对象的虚拟转换，以及无需培训的装配。将开发用于准确创建草图和使用2D手势进行操作的计算基础和算法，同时探索使用虚拟施工工具包想法和设计装配场景的设计场景。我们将为人机交互和设计协作的建筑框架开发理论和科学基础。由于形状的自然表达是创造力和视觉思维的本质，因此它在设计过程中非常有用，特别是在早期阶段。支持变革性设计思维的新设计概念、方法和工具将为设计创造新的启示，如果成功的话，将改变早期的设计流程。该奖项还将在研讨会中引入有效的设计学习，以帮助K-12 STEM教育。从长远来看，2D和3D自然设计的研究、教育和传播工作将提高创造性设计能力。它还将使任何普通人，包括那些年轻人，能够直接在3D空间中交流和原型设计想法，这些想法有可能从根本上改变设计范式。
