Have you ever sat at your table staring into a pile of peas wondering just how a multi-touch workflow would work? Would it be practical for editing 3D content or video content?
Oblong Industries (creators of G-speak) and supreme futurist John Underkloffer unveiled TAMPER at Sundance Film Fesitval this year as part of the New Frontier exhibition. But check this out. John recently gave a demonstration to Makingof.com showing exactly how it all works. Video after the break. It’s happening with video, why not with 3D CAD?
Editing Video with multi-touch and Gestures
Yes, it’s happening. They’ve managed to make the difficult task look even more difficult, or even easier, or even more aerobic… depends on how you look at it.
Why not with 3D CAD?
So, now you’ve seen the possibilities of how it’s being done with a relatively complicated task like editing video. Sure, there’s now 3-dimensional object, but I’m pretty sure they exist in video also. What’s really interesting from a 3D geometry perspective is how they are working with 2-dimensional graphic data and it’s 3-dimensional counterpart at the same time, in a heads ups environment. The object also serve as a point of control for what the user is creating.
So, why not with 3D CAD? With device like the Flux Digital Tabletop we’re getting awfully close to having to get up out of our seats a little more often. Good-bye atrophy. Hello tendonitis.

SolidSmack is a very small behemoth of an online community about 3D CAD, technology, design, robots, and ninjas… Ok, maybe not ninjas so much, but those guys are COOL so there just might be something about some dang ninjas.

This article really hit home for me. First because my 11 year old, McCrae is working on Adam Sandler's new movie Grown Ups this summer. He started 6 weeks ago and is working into August. So we have been able to get a very up close look at the process and going through some of the clips at makingof.com reminds me of dyas I have been on set. The number of moving parts that are managed on the fly is just amazing. Makes product development look simple… ok maybe not simple. Here are some pics from the set http://chriswilliams.smugmug.com/gallery/830132.... That is not really what McCrae looks like. He does and hour of hair and makup every day. They color his hair, curl it and paint on freckles.
Certainly the hand based technology is cool but is it really needed? What improves for the user doing this, other than they now don't need to go to the gym… And how would this really map to CAD? Video is really about still images where CAD is about finite feature control. While it is certainly cool from a technology perspective I am not sure I see the user value, but maybe this becomes more evident after people work with the technology and explore how it might improve the interaction. Certainly a mouse was uncomfortable and foriegn to us all at one time. Actaully it is really fun to try and teach someone how to use a mouse, yes there are still some people out there that don't know.
Yeah this is great tools.. but I didn't know how for this will be available… It's like on the Minority Report movie.. anyway this is a cool tool to wait for.. Agreed with Chris.. this will be like a gym at work! We will sweat a lots…
Smacktastic! Congrats, Josh. I think all that sweat and hard work will pay off.
Is it possible to create a 3D computer aided design model of human head or auto part using a digital camera? Please advice. Are websites that would provide the procedure on how to do it? I couldn't find on on Google.
What website sells a set that is tropical. Tropical is the theme my cousin decides on having. Thanks so much! few points for the best answer!
