My research project
VR sketch analysisFine-Grained VR Sketching Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and 3D printers rapidly make their way to consumer markets. With recent interest in virtual reality, VR sketching is gaining increasingly more popularity in industry and academia. My research is centered around identifying the potential of low-effort VR sketching to become a bridge to the practical adoption of 3D and VR-related technologies by average consumers and professional designers. In sketching research, the recent focus is on fine-grained tasks revolving around subtle intra-class differences. In particular, 2D sketches were proved to be efficient queries for 2D images fine-grained retrieval. Yet, in the context of the 3D shape retrieval from single or multiple 2D sketches the fine-grained performance was not demonstrated so far. 3D VR sketching in comparison allows to (1) alleviate the problem of a 2D projection ambiguity and (2) naturally evaluate and depict shapes & proportions.
