This $400,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports collaborative research to advance observational 3D sketching and cross-reality user interfaces. The Regents of the University of Minnesota will lead this 3-year project, which aims to develop new augmented and mixed reality tools to enable users to make real-world observations and translate them into 3D drawings. The key objectives are to re-center 3D drawing on foundational observation skills, create novel user interface techniques and algorithms to support seamless transitions between physical, virtual, and mixed spaces, and deploy the new technologies and educational modules in classrooms. This research effort seeks to unlock 3D drawing as a mode of inquiry and leverage its expressive power to represent the world around us.
