✦ Synopsis

Currently, we regard hand gestures as architectural hand signs. Given a hand sign, the corresponding motion sketches will provide geometric information for modeling. The hand sign is performed with the left hand and motion sketching is conducted by a Marker-Pen operated by the right hand. All these hand signs and sketching information will then be processed to create 3D models. This novel 3D architectural design modeling procedure is illustrated in Fig. 1.

With reference to the recent work on motion capture and recognition [1-14] and hand gesture-based 3D modeling [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], our work has the following contributions:

The design method provides a natural 3D design interface with two hand interactions and gestures, which will be interesting to interaction design researchers.
