Tangible image studio for digital imaging in product design

Abstract

We introduce a system for supporting digital imaging tasks in product design, called Tangible Image Studio. Tangible Image Studio helps industrial designers intuitively control parameters for digital imaging, such as camera location, target location, type and property of light sources in 3D CAD tools by employing tangible user interface techniques. It can improve the user interface of digital imaging tasks in CAD. It is also useful as a teaching aid for photographic studio lighting.
