My research this summer is an extension of a project already in progress. I will be developing a three dimensional painting tool to be used in a virtual reality world in a program being created for architectural design. The architecture program is being developed to place architects into their designing world where they can walk around their creations and construct through their body movements. The tool I will be creating will enable the user to draw in a virtual reality world. The inital stages of my research will allow a user to draw lines and curves in a three dimensional space. After that, with the use of texture mapping, I will incorporate the selection of an artistic medium as well as size and color of strokes. When my program is integrated into the virtual reality world, the wave of an arm will be able to place pencil sketches, pen marks, and paint strokes into air.
