Abstract

We introduce AR-Jig, a new handheld tangible user interface for 3D digital modeling in Augmented Reality space. AR-Jig has a pin array that displays a 2D physical curve coincident with a contour of a digitally-displayed 3D form. It supports physical interaction with a portion of a 3D digital representation, allowing 3D forms to be directly touched and modified. This project leaves the majority of the data in the digital domain but gives physicality to any portion of the larger digital dataset via a handheld tool. Through informal evaluations, we demonstrate AR-Jig would be useful for a design domain where manual modeling skills are critical.
