    Playful, collaborative approaches to 3D modeling and 3D printing
    (Mensch & Computer 2014 - Tagungsband, 2014) von Rekowski, Thomas; Boden, Alexander; Stickel, Oliver; Hornung, Dominik; Stevens, Gunnar
    Cheaper and more prevalent 3D printing technology offers new and emerging opportunities for non-experts to make and produce their very own physical items and products. However, most 3D modeling software is still geared towards experts and not as inclusive as the printing technology itself. At the same time, tools are usually limited in their possibilities for collaboration. Against this backdrop, we are conducting qualitative studies with children in Germany and Palestine on practices of co-constructive 3D modeling in virtual worlds. We aim to understand how children negotiate and cooperate on joint projects and how to lead non-experts playfully into 3D modeling. For this, we utilize the game Minecraft as well as the similar browser-based tool Cubeteam. In this paper, we present first results as well as design implications for co-constructive 3D modeling tools.

    Towards Bimanual Control for Virtual Sculpting
    (Mensch & Computer 2012: interaktiv informiert – allgegenwärtig und allumfassend!?, 2012) Herrlich, Marc; Braun, Andreas; Malaka, Rainer
    In 3D modeling, the work piece should be at the very center of attention. Many 3D modeling tools work rather directly on the mathematical representations, such as polygonal meshes. In contrast, virtual sculpting abstracts the 3D modeling process by providing virtual tools not unlike those used by artists for sculpting physical objects. In this paper, we investigate how virtual sculpting can benefit from bimanual interaction on interactive surfaces. We present our interface design and the results of a con-ducted case study comparing bimanual interaction on interactive surfaces to bimanual interaction using a stylus and keyboard. We found that interactive surfaces have greater affordance for bimanual interac-tion and we suggest that virtual sculpting could benefit from a combination of stylus and multi-touch interaction in the future.
