Fluid Sketches: Continuous Recognition and Morphing of Simple HandDrawn Shapes

Author: James Arvo,Kevin Novins

Summary:

This paper discusses about a method feedback while sketching. The paper uses instantaneous morphing and recognition feedback in order to give the user more flexibility while drawing.
This paper provides mathematical models for morphing and recognizing shapes.
As the user sketches, the ink is transformed to the clean shape instantaneously. The clean shape then replaces the original ink as the user continues sketching. The author claims this reduces the effort in sketching.

Discussion:

The idea of instantaneous feedback on user- drawn sketch is interesting. But i think this can also confuse users while drawing a complex shape.
