With the imminent availability of low cost, high resolution computer graphics systems suitable for visual and graphic arts applications, design education must now come to terms with radical changes in design methodology ...

This paper discusses inputing three dimensional solid object data by means of a two dimensional tablet. This method involves refining an object by gradually generalizing a class of 'permissible' objects. The design of an ...

SYNICS2 is a User Interface Management System (UIMS) using the concept of Recursive Transition Networks (RTN) for its control structure. It is used as an intelligence terminal would be, being situated between the computer ...

Computer aided design/drafting (CADD) system developers are taking advantage of the latest developments in personal computing and human factors research by including icon (picture) driven, direct manipulation menus in a ...

Europe is becoming aware that a political determination to collaborate is required, if it wants to attain the position it could claim on the basis of its research achievements. This is especially true in the field of ...

There is considerable scope for the application of computer techniques to help the graphic designer working with printed products, provided that pictures of high technical quality result. Described here is the product of ...

To extend computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction of (microscopic) biological structures to complex topologies, a number of specially developed contour algorithms are employed to generate hidden-line displays of ...

The immense and complicated task of converting a traditional cadastral map production into the most modern computer assisted interactive graphic production technique, and at the same time achieve increased productivity, ...

This paper describes a user interface which has been designed for the rough environment of a workshop floor. It has a strictly hierarchical structure of the commands, but allows a lot of context-free operator's actions and ...
