Abstract
This work presents a real time 3D modeling system which integrates a fingertip tracking technique and a 3D editing module. Therefore, the user can build up a 3D model by moving his fingertips instead of using mouse on the computer. We try to break out the gap between users and 3D editing software and expect that artists or designers who are not familiar with computers can create a digital 3D prototype model easily and conveniently. Some improvement algorithms like tracking noise removal and response time reduction are also proposed to increase the accuracy. The experiment results show that the proposed system is capable of producing the 3D objects of various shapes and users can quickly create a 3D prototype model with our system.
