Imagine being able to create three dimensional illustrations by moving your hands in three dimensional space – that’s exactly what some computer scientists have done.
Computer scientists Daniel Keefe (who’s also an artist), Robert Zeleznik, and David Laidlaw from Brown have created the system called “Drawing on Air”
Artists and Designers wear a virtual reality mask, hold a stylus in one hand and a tracking device in the other to create 3D illustrations for art and design and medical subjects.
Trials have taken place with 12 trained artists/designers which shows the system has been easy to use. You can read more about it at http://www.physorg.com/news109425896.html

This would sure be practical for 3D movie maker.
It would also give rise to another type of artist (3D artist)
I’m wondering though if coding and working in traditional 3D rendering programs is still more productive than this.
Hi Tara,
you did an amazing job! I hope you will take pictures and show them on here? Would be so cool to see! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you but I’m sure all will be fine, good luck!
