From there, the modeler “sculpted” the car using digital clay on a pen-tool carving rig that was originally built as a surgery trainer for doctors in medical school. The tool has motors at each hinge point that allows the pen to offer feedback when “touching” the model. Because of this, it is possible to run the tool along the "surface" of the design and there's resistance offered when sliding across edges or lips.
Anyone have more info about this? It sounds like it isn't necessarily new hardware, but I'm very curious about the software end. Does off the shelf CAD software support those kinds of devices?
- munificent 5y agoIt's a haptic pen, like: https://www.3dsystems.com/haptics https://www.3dsystems.com/haptics I got to play with one at SIGGRAPH 96 (!) and it was a really cool experience. It really does feel like the tip of the pen is sliding over an invisible surface.
