Title:
- iSphere: A Proximity-based 3D Input Device

Abstract:
iSphere is a hand-held device for modeling 3d geometry. Physical interfaces can simplify processes of manipulation by mapping functions to physical settings [1]. iSphere simplifies the mappings between low-level manipulation commands and modeling concepts. The modeling functions have built into the physical configurations. The system consists of a dodecahedron made by acrylic pentagons and a microcomputer connecting to twelve proximity sensors on the surfaces. Proximity sensors can be capable to understand user’s action and provide feedback interactively.
