Abstract
We present an electrophysiological heart simulator equipped with sketchy 3-D modeling interface. It has been tedious and time-consuming to create the shape of heart for use it in the simulator. In this study, we developed a new simulator that is combined with a sketch-based 3-D modeling interface for the shape transformation. We also developed a semiautomatic method in order to save labor for pre-process of the simulation. The sketchy 3-D modeling interface increases the facility of computer simulation.
