This Project Grant award of $199,999 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research and educational activities at Macalester College to advance 3D drawing and observational sketching in cross-reality environments spanning the physical, virtual, and mixed reality spaces.

The key products and services to be delivered include developing novel user interface techniques and algorithms to enable seamless transitions between real-world observations and the creation of 3D drawings using hybrid 2D/3D sketching interfaces. The project also integrates an educational program to train students in these new cross-reality modes of working and create capacity among 3D drawing instructors. Undergraduate students in computer science and art/design disciplines will participate as interdisciplinary members of the research team. The success of the new technologies and educational modules will be assessed through a combination of lab- and classroom-based user studies.
