Crayon3D is developing a functional and easy-to-use platform for
use with Panda3D. Our end product enables users to create objects by drawing
in the air with their fingers, just like the hero of the children's book
"Harold and the Purple Crayon."
The Crayon3D platform provides the following features:
- Head Tracking creates a uniquely immersive 3D virtual space
- Finger Tracking allows guests to draw in the air
- Our Drawing Engine turns the guests' drawings into 3D objects
- A Physics Engine allows the objects to interact with each other and their
environment
Our well-documented API and demo will help you use Crayon3D to create
imaginative games and fanciful worlds in a new way. We intend to provide the
platform for use in the ETC's Building Virtual Worlds course, beginning in Fall 2009, so that students can explore the possible applications of these features.
