. Timestamp and features? SketchUp will really be useful? to see implemented in the final deliverable? release? SketchUp? you'll be using your CAD then? Any other suggestions, criticisms?
On this stage I am thinking more as demo tool for teaching, but with porting
7/1/2009 and testing other plugins for SketchUp it might be that I start using it for real Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Three finger tap to bring the
. 8:54:54 Yes modelling work. right click context, push pull Python I use a lot of other soft. I do not beleive in single tool only. ScFi
I heard about this technology before one year .Since one year I am also
working on the Hardware part and made two Multi touch Device.

But Whenever Ran my Device had few applications to present and that all
the applications only shows that Hows Multi touch works .

But Now I think that Development of the Multi touch is being productive . I wish to say few things may be after release it .Multitouch users will not Accept it for regular use .But Its simplicity will make it Popular :).
Sounds good that you are making something Productive that will surely help
in the Designing field .
Go for it waiting for the release :)
7/1/2009 Absolutely Sketch up will be really help full it will make it more fun and easier I have no longer experience with the CAD Designing .But when it will be
. 21:43:43 Yes than Present way that we are using :) Zoom-in, Out Python release then surely will use it hope it will make it fun . sorry for my Bad English
7/1/2009 no, drawing using touch is not feasible. Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Gestures to draw
. 22:46:39 Yes digital drawing using touch n gestures is not a ggod idea shapes(requires a lot of thought) C++
7/2/2009 Oh yes! We just have to prove to the world, by doing, that it is the best and Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Gestures to draw Ruby API- Well, probably like this guy ;) :
. 2:39:35 Yes simplest tool to demonstrating it. shapes(requires a lot of thought) Improved I use only SketchUp. It's simple and it always has everything I need. http://vimeo.com/3365942
Yes very useful.
I think first of all it will bring the application to the next level of intuitiveness I'm using SketchUp for as my modeling tool.
(sorry for my english...). Well it is a Google product, so a good product. Easy to use, nice tutorial
Google SketchUp is about easy tools to model in 3D and accessibility, so I videos... Well I can't tell you what the future looks like, but
think something easier like multitouch to manipulate the models is I don't know any other software that enbale so many possibilities without I think MultitouchScreen are just the beginning of
immediatly on the agenda for this app. Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Gestures to draw being forced to read all the manual. Here with SketchUp, you can be a new way to interact with a computer. I think the
The second good thing about multitouch is the colaborative part. The shapes(requires a lot of thought), Right Click improve your self when you need to do something more difficult only by nest step is to bring 3D on the screen... Real
7/2/2009 possibility to work together on the same model vould be a great way to emulation-where index finger taps and stays and the watching a video and to try it for yourself, no need to know all the tools of model comming out of the screen... (check the
. 3:11:00 Yes improve efficiency and to bring more life and details in the models... middle finger taps twice, gestures for erasing/cancel C++ the software. IronMan movie...) Nice work to all people working on multitouch, thanks you for sharing, hope this will bring us to a bright way to intereact woth our beloved computers...!!!
There are many different modifiers that are used in combination with the
mouse in orbiting, panning, and zooming. These combinations take some
time to get use to and feel somewhat clumsy. It seems that using multitouch Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Right Click emulation-where
7/2/2009 gestures may increase speed and accuracy in maneuvering around the index finger taps and stays and the middle finger taps
. 4:14:11 Yes workspace and may also increase productivity. twice
Yes for rapid
prototying its
efficient, but for Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Gestures to draw
formal projects It will be useful to the community and serve as a great example of the shapes(requires a lot of thought), Right Click Yes CAD is an instrumental tool needed to be
applications such as possibilities and uses of this technology. But in terms of being productive it emulation-where index finger taps and stays and the used in the development of hardware. traditional
7/2/2009 solidworks or may not be since at the moment its more native to use mouse and kb then middle finger taps twice, Complete control of sketchup I use Sketchup for rapid prototyping then use Autodesk or solidworks to CAD may not be used but in some way or form
. 6:01:13 autocad is used use a large MT surface. and the use of bimodal input C++ make the final version. CAD will still exist. None
Yes I think more important to focus on the "multi" aspect in which you can
provide several input commands to a computer simultaneously. Starting with Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Right Click emulation-where
touch this allows for much more dynamic controls to be conceived and we index finger taps and stays and the middle finger taps I will be able to manipulate physical
7/2/2009 will continue to find useful digital gestures that align with common physical twice, Precise Selection Tool where as you put 3 representations on augmented reality planes
. 9:22:44 Yes interaction. fingers down and a triangle forms into a selection tool. C++ Dont use to much I live in illustrator which are all controlled by my brain by then... This project will be very important to our community and google sketchup project!
I really want to see pinch/zoom, 2 finger scroll, 3 finger pan/tilt and single
finger tool selection implemented into an OS itself, however until then it Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Right Click emulation-where AutoCAD 2009
7/2/2009 No, there are better would be great to use a 3D app with the same navigational features as MT index finger taps and stays and the middle finger taps Ruby API- Rhinocerous Direct on screen, perhaps a few tangible
. 14:40:51 tools around Google earth but also intergrate a single point touch for selecting tools. twice Improved C4D controlers Sketch up has limited abilities but is a great place to start MT 3D, as i said before having the OS be MT compliant would be much better than just an app.
I think it will be our interfaces that evolve our
Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, If possible there should be a software, much like multitouch is doing today,
customizable replacement menu that is a quarter brain machine interfaces, holographic displays,

I think it is a great first start, and I will be using it to build my next multitouch with the thumb, the radial menu will expand to show coupled with high speed subliminal geometric
table. But I think that in order to build a truly intuitive multitouch 3D modeling the options which can be selected by pivoting on the shapes flashing onscreen will allow us to build
software, we will have to start from scratch, and design without the chains of thumb, sub menus can be selected by extending the models with our thoughts.

Instead we should develop intuitive and universal gestures that mimic highlighted, and further releasing the thumb selects the to create our 3D models in 3D space. Humans

The You need to build this project cross platform in order to gain the support of the open source community at large! It is much easier to start building
. 23:15:44 Yes more intuitive interface. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12vFpBhWaVM Python SketchUp, mostly because of the intuitive push/pull interface. terminators are coming! ^_^ cross platform now then to port more code later!

7/4/2009 Sketchup, i dont know if its doable but its gonna look
. 1:42:23 Yes Yeahhhh, its going to one of the best-est applications of the technology. :) good Python Yeah! Sketchup and AutoCAD mostly Minority Report You can involve more community people to really shine on this one. I'm sure this project shall rock, all the best
I think that a tool like sketchup is meant to be something you can use to
I don't have a large quickly prototype designs in an intuitive fashion, where the controls are
amount of simple. Multitouch is the perfect interface for something like this, simply
experience with because you would be able to "mold" your designs to how you see fit. The

Imagine a tangible 3D plowing and hope that the next attempt is the one that works :). Good luck with everything, I really hope everything works out because this is an awesome

Yes, I believe that especially in areas where artistic expression is important,
a close resemblance of real world interaction (like multi-touch) could be I won't be, but I hope something like
7/5/2009 beneficial to the user experience, efficiency and eventually to the resulting Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Gestures to draw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzFpg271sm8 What happened to "Java" in possible
. 22:12:21 I am not a modeler quality of the work at hand. shapes(requires a lot of thought) Python No will pop up (then I might be :-). API's? Lately a lot of effort seems to be put in the development JVM focused DSL's / regular languages which makes Java adoption of an API very possible.
7/6/2009 No, there are better Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Gestures to draw Ruby API-
. 16:02:19 tools around maybe shapes(requires a lot of thought) Improved yes, but mainly 3dsmax for building virtual stripclubs :D no
it's difficult to say as there are no solutions on 3d modelling and multitouch
so far but I can well imagine, that there would be great possibilities in terms Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Right Click emulation-where
of demonstration/presentation of models or of simple modelling. I cannot index finger taps and stays and the middle finger taps
7/8/2009 imagine that the whole scope of modelling tasks can be done "by hand", but I twice, Push-Pull (e.g. two fingers on initial surface, one Ruby API- sketchup for everything but curved modelling, 3d studio for this. autocad
. 14:11:04 Yes don't see the need to. finger pulling) Improved for certain tasks in 3d and all 2d stuff if i knew that i would write a paper on it

middle finger taps twice, gestures to modify objects.
7/10/2009 i didn't have time to PS : for me, it would be better to take drawing tool and
. 8:53:38 test it. yes, because of direct manipulation draw than having two fingers to draw Python catia because i use it at work with virtual reality keep up the good work
Hell yea, I can carry my turntables if I'm a DJ
I can carry presentations that are heavily animated to impress my clients.
I can fall off my seat and still continue writing here (that just happened) Pan, Orbit, Zoom-in, Out, Right Click emulation-where
