A system includes a position indicator and a processing device which enable a user to intuitively and dynamically specify dimensions and shapes of objects. The position indicator transmits a signal indicative of a pressure applied to a part of the position indicator. The processing device receives the signal indicative of the pressure applied to the part of the position indicator and signals indicative of respective positions of the position indicator. The processing device generates visualization data based on the signal indicative of the pressure applied to the part of the position indicator and the signals indicative of the respective positions of the position indicator. The visualization data defines an object that extends from a predetermined position in a direction that is based on the signal indicative of the pressure applied to the part of the position indicator.

Systems and methods for dynamic shape sketching using position indicator and processing device that displays visualization data based on position of position indicator

A method and system for three-dimensional (3D) surface sketching are provided. A 3D scanner scans an outer surface of a physical object and outputs data representative of the outer surface. A processor generates, based on the received data, a 3D model of the object and outputs a 3D rendering of the object. A display displays the 3D rendering of the object. An input device physically traces over a portion of the outer surface of the object and a tracking device tracks a positioning of the input device as the input device physically traces over the portion of the outer surface of the object. The processor receives data representative of at least one spatial position of the input device, augments the 3D rendering of the object based at least in part on the data and outputs the augmented 3D rendering to the display.
